Our crews are preparing to respond to power problems, as a heat wave settles over our area. The coming weather could also cause thunderstorms, which can bring down overhead power lines and lead to outages.

We’ll be doing everything possible to help keep your power reliable. You can help, too.

APPLIANCES

• Limit using large appliances such as clothes washers, dryers, dishwashers, and microwaves between 2 and 10 p.m.
• Use only one large appliance at a time.

AIR CONDITIONING

• Limit the use of air conditioning whenever possible. If you have two A/Cs, use only one.
• Set your A/C to the highest comfortable temperature. Use fans to help circulate air.
• Turn off your A/C when you’re not at your place and use a timer to start cooling a half hour before arriving home.
