As a reminder, today is a Yellow Day. This is one of the coldest days we’ve seen this winter season, and as people are waking up, we’re encouraging customers to conserve more energy on Monday, January 26, between 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.   

Here are some tips to conserve energy:
🟡 Avoid using large appliances such as washers, dryers, and dishwashers.
🟡 Unplug appliances that are not in use.  
🟡 Adjust your thermostat lower, if it’s safe to do so. 

SAFETY REMINDERS: 
⚠️ Before operating a portable generator, please use it properly by never using it in an enclosed space, making sure it is properly grounded, and placing it at least 25 feet from a home or building. 

♨️ If you smell gas, leave the area immediately and call 210-353-HELP (4357) from a safe location. 
️
🚫 Please do NOT go near a downed power line. Always treat it as LIVE and report it immediately by calling 210-353-HELP (4357).

On the first day of assisting with restoration efforts, our crews picked up 50+ spans of downed power lines. This amount of destruction across the #Houston community left by recent storms is why #TexansHelpingTexans is much needed. #TexasStrong
