PSE&G Offers Tips to Prepare for Summer and High Heat Days

By: 3BL Media

Friday is National Heat Awareness Day

SOURCE: Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG)

DESCRIPTION:

NEWARK, N.J., May 25, 2022 /3BL Media/ - Friday, May 27, is National Heat Awareness Day and PSE&G, New Jersey’s largest utility, reminds our customers to properly protect themselves during the high heat days of summer. PSE&G is prepared to meet the increased electrical demand that high temperatures bring.

“We’re powering progress by investing in our infrastructure and we prepare year-round to ensure our electrical system operates at top performance,” said Jack Bridges, vice president, Electric Operations for PSE&G. “We’re prepared for the demands brought by summer’s high heat and hurricane season. We prepare so that our customers can have the best service possible during extreme conditions. It’s also important for families, who spend a lot of summertime outdoors, to learn how to stay protected.”

According to the National Weather Service, “on average, extreme heat has killed more people in the last 10 years than any other weather phenomena.” The NWS encourages people to remember the acronym HEAT – Hydrate. Educate yourself. Act quickly. Take it easy.

During extreme heat conditions, customers should:

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol.

  • Take precautions such as not wearing dark colors. Know the signs of heat illness.
     
  • Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles. Act quickly if someone exhibits heat illness.
     
  • Avoid overexertion during work or exercise, especially between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.

High electric demand and extreme weather events caused by hurricane season, which starts June 1, can also lead to power outages. Customers who rely on electricity to support life-sustaining medical equipment should have a backup plan, register with PSE&G in advance, and also notify your local police and fire departments. Registration does not guarantee priority power restoration.

PSE&G also reminds customers that hot and sticky weather can lead to more usage and higher electric bills. Customers can save energy and money this summer by following 10 simple tips:

  1. Don’t cool an empty house. Set your thermostat higher when you are away.
  2. Seal holes and cracks around doors and windows with caulk or weather-stripping.
  3. Replace air filters monthly. Dirty filters make your air conditioner work harder.
  4. Use a microwave or crockpot instead of the oven. Better yet, grill outdoors.
  5. Operate appliances in the morning or evening when it is cooler outside.
  6. When washing dishes or clothes, run full loads.
  7. Wash laundry in cold water.
  8. Close blinds and draperies facing the sun to keep out the sun’s heat.
  9. Don’t cool unused rooms. Close the vents and shut the door.
  10. Ceiling fans cool fast and cost less than air conditioning. (In hot weather, set your ceiling fan to spin quickly, counterclockwise to push air downward toward the floor.)

Extreme temperatures and high electric demand can sometimes cause scattered, heat-related outages. Customers can prepare by keeping PSE&G’s contact information handy. During extreme heat, PSE&G will have additional personnel available to address outages safely and as quickly as possible.
