Winter savings programs and
solutions for your business
Each season presents new opportunities for us to help you save energy and money. Along with cooler weather, you’ll be able to take advantage of energy saving programs and solutions for your business.
Are you a residential customer?.
Adjust your thermostat
When you’re in the office, set your thermostat as low as is comfortable. At night or when you’re out, turn it back up 10-15 degrees to save about 10% a year.
Upgrade your lighting
Using LED lighting could help your business save year-round, especially if you’re decorating the office for the holidays. Occupancy sensors can also help you optimize your energy use in areas without much traffic.
Power down
Switch off or power down your electronic devices on unused equipment when not in use. Turning off one computer and monitor nightly and on weekends can save up to $80 a year – savings like these could really add up!
Weatherize your business
Weather strip and caulk drafty doors and windows to keep in the heat when you need it most. Insulating your business can also help keep the heat or cool air in year-round.
Tune your HVAC
Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort.
Maintain and repair
The winter season can be a great time to get to all those “energy-leaks” fixed or upgrade your facilities to be more energy-efficient.

Safety should come first every season. Here are some helpful safety tips for your business. Visit our safety page for more business-safety tips and information on everything from gas safety, powerline safety and more.
Carbon monoxide
Install a carbon monoxide detector in your home, check the battery annually and replace the detector every five years to ensure it's working.
Prevent a fire
Keep electric heaters a safe distance from furniture, blankets and other objects which might catch fire.
Don't overload outlets
When lighting for the holidays, always replace damaged light cords and broken sockets, instead of trying to repair them and try not to overload electrical outlets.
Watch out for hidden damage
Keep electrical cords away from heat sources, pedestrian traffic, and do not place them under rugs or mats where damage can go unnoticed.
