Xcel Energy is reminding Texas and New Mexico customers that small changes at home can help trim winter heating costs. The utility suggests lowering the thermostat a few degrees, cleaning or replacing dirty furnace filters and opening blinds during the day to let sunlight in.
Xcel customers who need more time to pay can ask about splitting a bill into smaller payments, averaging bills across the year or changing their due date. The company encourages customers to call 800-395-4999 before falling behind to discuss payment options and local assistance.
