Stay Warm & Save: Lakeland Electric’s Top
Energy-Saving Tips for Cold Weather


As temperatures drop, keeping your home cozy while managing your energy bill can be a challenge. At Lakeland Electric, we’re committed to helping you stay comfortable and save money with practical energy-saving tips, valuable rebates, and our free Home Energy Check.

1. Seal the Leaks
Small gaps around doors and windows let cold air in and warm air out. Use weatherstripping or caulk to seal leaks and keep the heat inside your home.

2. Adjust Your Thermostat
Lower your thermostat by a few degrees when you sleep or when you’re away from home. Each degree can significantly impact your energy usage and monthly bill. Consider investing in a programmable thermostat for convenient temperature control; we also offer a rebate on these devices.

3. Let the Sun In
Open curtains on sunny days to let natural warmth heat your home. Close them at night to keep that warmth from escaping.

4. Use Ceiling Fans Wisely
Set your ceiling fans to run clockwise at a low speed during winter. This pushes warm air down from the ceiling and helps distribute heat evenly.

5. Maintain Your Heating System
Regularly change or clean your air filters and schedule routine maintenance to keep your system running smoothly. A well-maintained system operates more efficiently, saving you energy and money. Additionally, we offer an annual maintenance rebate to help you maximize your savings.

6. Layer Up
Dress in warm layers and use extra blankets to stay comfortable without turning up the heat.
