Connect to Energy Savings
AS THE ELECTRIC DELIVERY COMPANY that has been serving south and west Texas for over
90 years, AFP Texas knows a thing or two about energy conservation. While we no longer sell
electricity or send out monthly electric bills, we recognize this is going to be a long, hot summer.
Since AFP Texas and its 1,700 employees are directly connected to the many communities we
live in and serve, we'd like to share some low or no cost tips with you on how to keep cooler this
summer by saving energy and money.
• Set air-conditioning thermostats to the highest possible comfortable setting and dress accordingly.
• Turn off every appliance you are not using including lights, televisions and
radios. Use the "sleep" feature on your computer equipment.
• Only cool rooms that you use. Close vents and doors in unused rooms.
Be sure to close closet doors.
• Check your air-conditioning filter every month and replace as needed.
• Keep windows that let the sun in covered when the sun is shining on them.
• Weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to prevent drafts.
• Close your fireplace damper when the fireplace is not being used.
• Use fans to help circulate the air in your house.
• Air-dry dishes in the dishwasher.
• Lower the temperature on your hot water heater to warm during the summer,
take short showers and wash only full loads of clothes in the laundry.
It's important to remember that if you're having trouble paying your electric bill, call your retail
energy provider (REP) at the number listed on your current electric bill to avoid disconnection.
