Pacific Power Shares Winter Heating Tips to Help Customers Stay Warm and Save Money 

 
PORTLAND, Ore., (Jan 22, 2026) — As cold temperatures linger across the region, Pacific Power is reminding customers of a few simple adjustments they can make at home that can help them stay warm while also reducing their energy bill.  

 

“With households using more electricity to stay comfortable during winter months, adopting energy-efficient heating practices benefits everyone,” said Ryan Flynn, president of Pacific Power. “Even small changes support the grid and can lead to significant savings on your monthly bill.” 

 

To help customers get started, Pacific Power recommends taking these practical steps to help keep their energy costs in check this winter.  

 

Tips for staying warm and energy-efficient: 

 

  • 68° degrees is great – Setting the thermostat at 68°F when you’re home and awake is recommended.  

  • Keep warm air in – Close window coverings at night to reduce drafts, and seal air leaks with caulking and weatherstripping around doors and windows.  

  • Clean and tune – Clean or replace furnace filters monthly during the heating season. Routine maintenance helps improve airflow and ensures your system isn’t working harder than necessary.  

  • Use space heaters sparingly – and safely – Portable heaters require a lot of electricity and should be used only as needed. Running a typical 1,500-watt unit for eight hours a day over a month can add about $30 to a winter bill.  

  • Use appliances during off-peak hours – Using appliances like ovens, dishwashers and laundry machines during off-peak hours helps reduce strain on the grid and can help customers manage their bill – an approach Pacific Power also highlights during extreme weather.   

 

Pacific Power offers a range of energy assistance programs, including income-qualified discounts, weatherization support and resources for customers managing high bills. For more information, visit PacificPower.net/Assistance or call 888-221-7070.
