The Cleco Watt Matters energy savings campaign continues with the fifth and final focus area: Keep It In!

To save energy and money, Cleco customers should weatherproof their homes. Weatherization seals a home, so customers can keep it indoors!

“Sealing air leaks around windows and doors and making sure you have the right amount of insulation can save energy and keep a home cool in the hot summer months,” says Andre Guillory , Vice President and Chief Client Officer. “The goal is to make sure your home is sealed like an envelope, so fresh air stays inside.”

Keep it inside! is the latest area of ​​focus in Cleco’s energy-saving campaign, Watt Matters, a five-part series on residential programs and individual actions customers can take to reduce energy waste and reduce their monthly bills. It follows the fourth focus area, Budget For It! which encouraged customers to enroll in the company’s budget billing program to receive more predictable bills. The third focus area, Unplug It!, explained how inactive electronics, appliances, and other miscellaneous devices draw electricity around the clock, even when not in use. The second focus area, Turn It Off!, reminded customers to turn off lights and appliances when not in use. The first focus area, Replace It!, urged customers to replace outdated appliances and fixtures with ones that are more energy efficient.

“There are several things customers can do themselves to weatherproof their homes without spending a lot of money,” Guillory said. “Cleco customers can also take advantage of services available through the Cleco Power Wise™ energy efficiency program.”
