Winter Energy Tips for Your Business
We’re here for you with energy-saving programs and tips to help keep your energy
costs low.
Know the Details of Your Pricing Plan
Your pricing plan impacts your bottom line. It’s important to review your business' pricing plan annually to ensure that you know when to shift or conserve energy. If your plan includes event days, prepare for on-peak and event-day hours (4 - 9 p.m.) to reduce your energy use when an activation is called.

Upgrade Your Lighting
Switching out lighting with occupancy sensors can provide energy saving and convenience by turning on lights when someone enters a room and turns them off when unoccupied.
Power Down
Enable the power management function on computers, so monitors go to sleep. And at the end of the work day, remember to switch off or power down your electronic devices.
Weatherize Your Business
Weather strip and caulk drafty doors and windows to keep in the heat when you need it most. Insulating your building can help manage temperatures and reduce energy costs.
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 fix those “energy leaks.” An energy audit can help your business identify ways to upgrade your facility to be more energy efficient.
