Duke Energy has launched a new initiative called “12 Days of Savings” to help customers reduce their energy use and lower electric bills during the holiday season. The program offers daily tips from December 1 through December 12, focusing on practical ways to improve energy efficiency at home.
“During the holidays, energy use naturally increases due to cooler temperatures and shorter days,” said Kendal Bowman, Duke Energy’s North Carolina president. “Our goal is to make it easy for customers to take small steps that improve energy efficiency and deliver real savings.”
The schedule includes actions such as replacing outdoor and indoor lighting with LED bulbs, adjusting thermostats, sealing air leaks in windows and doors, setting water heaters to 120 degrees, installing low-flow showerheads, checking refrigerator seals, changing ceiling fan settings for winter use, and turning off fans when rooms are unoccupied.
Customers are also encouraged to participate in a free Home Energy Assessment. This service provides personalized advice on reducing energy consumption and includes complimentary products like weather stripping and caulking. Participants may also learn about available rebates for further efficiency upgrades.
Duke Energy serves millions of electric and natural gas customers across several states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The company continues its investment in grid modernization and cleaner energy sources such as renewables and storage.
