at home, we may find ourselves using more electricity as it heats up. But higher temps don't have to mean higher bills. We have several rebates and programs to help you chill your bill. Try out our Energy Advisor online tool to help you assess your home energy efficiency so you can see where your energy consumption is high and how to save. You can also follow a few simple energy conservation tips to beat the heat and keep your electricity costs low.
Mylar balloons have a metallic coating that can cause an electric outage if a balloon makes contact with a power line. Help prevent outages by keeping balloons tied to a weight and never release them outdoors. Watch this video to see the dangers posed by Mylar balloons. To report objects caught in power lines, call 1-800-DIAL-DWP.
