Description
Due to the extreme cold temperatures expected throughout the week, Tarentum Borough is encouraging residents to participate in a Community Energy Savings Day to help manage energy usage, reduce utility bills, and ease the strain on the energy system.
Everyone has a role to play in managing energy usage and simple steps can help keep bills manageable, reduce the strain on energy systems, and ensure that critical power remains available to all who need it.
Residents are urged to consider these energy-saving tips:
Adjust Your Thermostat
Lower the thermostat by a few degrees, especially when you’re away or asleep, to 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 during sunny days to let in natural 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, if possible, schedule maintenance to ensure your heating system runs efficiently.
Unplug and Power Down
Turn off lights and unplug electronics when not in use to conserve electricity.
By working together and taking these small steps, we can make a big impact on managing energy usage during this period of extreme cold. Thank you for doing your part to keep our community warm and safe!
Stay warm, Tarentum!
