⚡Weatherman Wednesday: Did you know that those green boxes on your street are not actually for play?

These are called electrical transformers, and they protect high-voltage energy inside. Underneath lies several cables and wires that distribute power and energy throughout your community.

⚠️Stay away from these boxes and DO NOT sit, stand, or play on them!

Scheduling system maintenance now can help your heating system run more efficiently this winter. Replace your air filter regularly and schedule a professional tune-up before the winter chill arrives. A well-maintained system can improve comfort and help manage energy use.
