Hints for the holidays

Gather with family and friends while managing energy costs.

Expecting a house full of guests? Before they arrive, lower your thermostat to 68 degrees (or lower) to keep everyone comfortable and save on heating costs.
Headed to Grandma’s house? Turn your furnace down to 65 degrees when you are away. You can also close blinds and curtains to hold heat in.
Baking for your get together? Keep the oven door shut and check cooking progress through the window. Opening the door for a few seconds lowers the temperature inside by as much as 25 degrees.

Carbon monoxide detectors save lives

Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless and invisible. It’s also deadly. To keep your family safe, make sure you have working CO alarms on every level of your home, particularly in or near bedrooms. Minnesota law requires you to place carbon monoxide alarms within 10 feet of any sleeping area in your home.
