With rising temperatures expected in Florida, Duke Energy has shared several strategies to help residents manage their energy consumption and maintain comfort. The utility company emphasizes setting thermostats to the highest comfortable temperature, using cooler water for laundry, running heat-producing appliances during cooler morning hours, closing curtains on sunny sides of homes, and operating ceiling fans counterclockwise to circulate cool air.
Duke Energy also offers programs such as free home energy assessments and rebates for equipment upgrades through its Home Energy Improvement rebate program. Customers can receive bill credits by participating in the EnergyWise Home program, which involves shifting energy use to off-peak times.
For those needing financial assistance with their bills, Duke Energy provides installment payment plans and collaborates with local agencies to offer resources like the Share the Light Fund. More information is available on their Special Assistance page.
Duke Energy Florida serves a wide area with significant energy capacity. As part of Duke Energy Corporation, it contributes to a large network serving millions across several states.
