flag Xcel Energy is urging customers to lower heating costs and stay safe as winter temperatures drop. flag Heating makes up about half of household energy bills, and simple steps like reducing the thermostat by one degree can cut usage by up to 3%. flag Other recommendations include using programmable thermostats, opening drapes to capture sunlight, running ceiling fans clockwise, sealing leaks, and replacing dirty furnace filters. flag Safety tips include keeping gas meters clear, using range hood ventilation, testing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and assembling emergency kits with flashlights, batteries, water, nonperishable food, a manual can opener, backup charger, and first aid supplies. flag Additional resources, including payment plans and energy assistance, are available on Xcel Energy’s website.
