for tips on how to prepare for snowstorms, dangerous driving conditions and other types of winter emergencies. In the event of an emergency please call 911. The Police Non-Emergency phone number is (630) 719-4740. Power outages should be directed to ComEd at 1.800.EDISON1 (1.800.334.7661).
ComEd offers the following no/low cost tips to help you prepare your homes for winter weather, manage your energy usage and reduce electricity costs.
- Set your thermostat up to 10 degrees lower when you leave your home and before going to sleep. You could save up to 15 percent a year on heating and cooling costs.
- Check your HVAC filter every month and change if dirty. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you warm thus wasting energy.
- Replace incandescent holiday lights with LEDs. LEDs typically consume about 75% less energy and can last up to 10 times longer.
- Inspect the caulking and weather-stripping around all windows, doors and openings for utility services, replacing as necessary.
