Beginning Wednesday, our service territory is predicting freezing temperatures as low as 19° in some areas. Below are some tips to help you ready your home and loved ones for the fast-approaching winter weather.

Cold temperatures drive up energy usage, particularly for heat pumps when temps drop below 30°. Monitor your hourly usage with our mobile app, myTCEMC. For tips on how to conserve energy and save money on your electric bill, visit our online Energy Efficiency Center here.

Stay indoors if possible and prioritize safety!
