With temperatures expected to be below zero, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission has provided tips
- Adjust Your Thermostat – Lowering the thermostat a few degrees, especially during times you are away or asleep, can significantly reduce energy consumption.
- Seal Leaks and Drafts – Use weather stripping, caulk, or door sweeps to block cold drafts and keep warm air indoors.
- Use Natural Sunlight – Open curtains and blinds on sunny days to let in warmth and close them at night to retain heat.
- Bundle Up Indoors – Dress in layers and use extra blankets to stay warm without turning up the heat excessively.
- Maintain Heating Systems – Change furnace filters regularly and schedule maintenance if possible, ensuring systems run efficiently.
- Unplug and Power Down – Turn off lights and unplug electronics when not in use to conserve electricity.
Finally, follow announcements from your utility company for updates on any service updates.
