Early morning temperatures are expected to dip into the 30s for the next few days in the Phoenix area. And lower temperatures can mean higher heating costs.
Arizona Public Service spokesperson Sarah Noll said energy customers can save on bills by making small weatherization upgrades to their homes.
“Windows can be a source of lost heat from inside your home. Check and make sure that they’re caulked and seal any leaks anywhere that air might be entering or leaving your home, especially around doorways, you can install weather stripping,” Noll said.
Noll said customers can also save money with smart thermostats that run automatic heating and cooling schedules to reduce energy use.
“These can help you adjust the temperature around your daily routines,” Noll said.
And Noll recommends comparing your utility provider’s different options to make sure you’re on the most cost-effective rate plan for your household.
Cooler than normal temperatures are expected across the region through Monday with highs mainly in the 50s and 60s. However, going into the middle part of the week, a quick warm-up will push highs to around 70° across the lower deserts. #azwx #cawx pic.twitter.com/quwPFbtEHE
