Turn off lights when not in use.

Lower your thermostat in the winter (68-70 degrees) and raise
it in the summer (76-78 degrees).

Set your water heater thermostat
to 120 degrees.

Lights Out?

STAY AWAY FROM DOWNED POWER LINES and broken utility poles. Please note the location and call us immediately. Even lines that look harmless can be dangerous.
If your power is out, check with your neighbors. If they still have electricity, check your fuses or circuit breakers. If that doesn't solve the problem, give us a call.
Once you've called us, there's no need to keep calling; your request will be handled as soon as possible. However, if your power is still out once your neighbors' has been returned to service, you should call again.
When service is restored, overloaded lines could cause another outage. You can help prevent this by switching off your heating and cooling equipment and other appliances during the outage. Leave a light on so you'll know when service is back on.
Don't keep checking the refrigerator and freezer. Food will keep much longer if the doors are left closed.
Prepare a "lights out" kit: keep a flashlight, spare fuses, and battery-powered radio handy. Know where the electric service panel for your home is located and how to reset circuit breakers or replace blown fuses. Make sure your family knows where the kit is and what to do if you are not at home.
