With high temperatures predicted across the Carolinas, Duke Energy is offering advice to help residents manage their energy use while maintaining comfort. The company suggests several methods for conserving energy and reducing costs.
Among the recommendations are setting thermostats to the highest comfortable temperature, using cooler water for laundry, running heat-producing appliances during cooler hours, closing blinds on sunny windows, and operating ceiling fans in a counterclockwise direction to circulate cool air.
Duke Energy also provides programs and incentives for further savings. Customers can sign up for a free home energy assessment that includes an energy efficiency kit and personalized advice. Additionally, rebates are available through the Smart $aver program for upgrading equipment such as HVAC systems and water heaters.
The company offers payment assistance options including Installment Payment Plans and works with agencies to provide resources like the Share the Light Fund and Low Income Home Energy Assistance programs.
