The PUC encourages everyone to take these simple steps to help consumers prepare for colder months:

Review your utility bills. Understand your current rate and usage — and how colder weather can increase demand.

Don’t wait to call. If you’re worried about paying your bill, contact your utility now to ask about assistance programs or payment plans.

Ask about affordability programs. Utilities offer programs like CAPs, budget billing, and hardship funds that can reduce your monthly costs.

Make small energy-saving changes. Lower your thermostat by one or two degrees, check furnace filters, and seal drafts — small actions that add up.
