Picking A Power Company Can Be Tricky.

• If you are new to the area, it is easy to find
  out who your local power company might be. A
  quick look through the yellow pages or by
  inquiring with your landlord or neighbor will
  tell you who the power company is for your area.
• Most of the time, your power company will be the
  same for a neighborhood even though there may be
  more than one in your vicinity. Once you have
  identified your electricity provider, you can
  give them a call and arrange for installation or
  connection.
• Some power companies offer services such as
  energy assessments in which they will do a
  walk-through of your home. They will check out
  your basement or crawl space, attic, windows and
  doors to do an analysis of whether or not your
  house is as energy efficient as it could be. At
  the end of this assessment the power company can
  recommend things that you can do such as replace
  old windows that allow air leakage to make your
  home more air tight and energy efficient. They
  may also recommend that you add more insulation
  to the proper R factor rating for your area based
  on the climate in the area in which you reside.
  This might mean adding additional insulation or
  insulating areas that werent insulated prior to
  the assessment. They can also identify problems
  such as doors that allow a draft and rob you of
  energy whether it is heat or cool air. Basements
  can be looked at to see if there might be
  potential for energy to escape and then give
  ideas as to how to best tackle the problem at
  hand.
• Also at the power company, you find helpful
  brochures on things that you can do to help
  reduce your electricity bill such as put up
  darker drapes to your windows that are the most
  exposed to sunlight throughout the day. Other
  ideas such as installing an energy efficient hot
  water tank that can be switched on and off during
  times when you arent going to be home and there
  is no need for the water to constantly be heated
  and then reheated. There are tons of tips and
  tricks to help you conserve energy, lower your
  electricity bill and leave less of a carbon
  footprint. Most of these tips are easy to employ,
  inexpensive to install and if it involves
  replacing appliances, some areas also offer
  rebates to do so. Your electric provider can give
  you the specific information on what is available
  in the way of rebates in your area.
• You will also learn safety tips about what to do
  if you encounter downed electrical lines, working
  on hot or electrically charged lines in your home
  and basic all around electricity safety whether
  inside your home or outside.
• They can also provide you with contact details of
  what to do in the event of an outage and what you
  need to know and what tools you need to prepare
  for an outage should one occur in the future.
