FPL offers energy-saving tips to customers
With the bill increase taking effect in April, FPL encourages customers to take steps to lower their bills by monitoring energy use and making their homes more energy efficient. For example:
- Depending on the season, customers should cool their home at 78° or warmer or heat their home at 68° or cooler. Each degree customers lower or increase the temperature on their thermostat can reduce their bill by 5% a month for heating or cooling costs.
- Customers can clean the lint filter in their dryer before each load to minimize drying time.
- Turn off ceiling fans and lights in unoccupied rooms.
- View daily, weekly and monthly energy use by using the FPL Mobile App, which is available on the Apple App store,
Google Play or by texting "App" to MyFPL (69375). - Customers can activate the free FPL Energy Manager tool to monitor how their home is using energy and identify ways to save.
