PSE | Lower your bill

November Wind Storm

Updates for customers

Crews were out in full force today, focusing on the neighborhood distribution lines that serve smaller pockets of customers. They are reporting additional damage at many locations, which will need to be repaired as well. Much of this work is time-consuming and slow-going, as it requires extensive work yet restores power in much smaller numbers, such as to 5, 10, or 20 customers at a time.

As more and more neighborhoods are energized, some customers may feel like they are being left in the dark. If you’re seeing neighbors with their power on, it’s likely that they’re served by a different circuit that has been restored.

We know many of you are wondering what is happening in your area. As crews get onsite, they will be entering more specific information about restoration times on the outage map. This may take time as we still have nearly 900 locations with damage.

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.
