PSE | Lower your bill

November Wind Storm

Overnight, crews made steady progress restoring power to customers impacted by Tuesday’s windstorm, restoring more than half the total customers who’ve been affected since the start of the storm. However, we understand that for those still affected it remains incredibly challenging, especially with the cold conditions. For customers needing support, please check with your local government or call 211 to find warming shelters and other resources. King 5 also has this list of resources. We are working around the clock and will continue to do so until every customer is restored.

Crews have been able to restore power to 57 schools with known power outages over the last two days, with continued efforts to restore remaining schools, medical facilities and hospitals. The high winds and resulting tree damage not only downed the smaller, local power lines, but also damaged the larger transmission lines – the larger lines that bring power into communities. Crews are beginning to bring transmission lines back online; these lines need to be brought back into service before crews can focus on the local distribution system. Please note that as transmission comes online, there will be temporary spikes in data as those systems are energized, you may see numbers go up and down on the outage map as the process occurs.

We’re here to help: Increase your efficiency and lower your bill

Special offers:

You can always get $75 off smart thermostats on PSE Marketplace, and we regularly offer extra savings with special deals on specific models.

We know managing your energy bill can be difficult, which is why we offer rebates on efficient products that can lower your monthly costs and make home upgrades more affordable.

Here are simple things you can do to get started:

1. Don’t wait to insulate! Insulation and air sealing can help keep your home cool in the summer and lower your heating bill as much as 8% during colder months. These measures can also improve air quality! Do it yourself or use our rebates when you hire a contractor.

2. Hello, sun. Whenever it’s sunny, take advantage by turning off unnecessary lights. And consider installing efficient windows to help keep warm air inside during winter and block heat during summer.

3. Lower thermostat, higher savings. Adjust the set point of your thermostat by a few degrees while you’re asleep or away. Buy a discounted smart thermostat on the PSE Marketplace for more energy-saving features.

4. Save buckets by using less hot water. Heating water accounts for about 12% of your monthly bill, so wash clothes and dishes with cold water whenever possible. Check out our water heater and laundry appliance rebates too!

5. Dusty filters? Cleaning or replacing filters in your heating and cooling equipment can improve efficiency and overall functioning. If you have a furnace, changing the filters regularly could save you up to 7% each month.
