Household Tips for the
Winter Season
General Tips
- Clean dust from the back of your
refrigerator (condenser coils) at least twice a year. If not done,
your refrigerator works harder to keep your food cold, which
increases your electric bill. If you do not know how to do this,
call Housing and we will assist you.
- Check for leaks under your kitchen
sink cabinet and the bathroom sink vanity every month.
- Can my heat be shut off in the winter? Yes! Many
residents mistakenly believe that the utility companies cannot
disconnect their heat during the winter months. The fact is they can
and do. To keep your heat on, you need to contact your utility
company to apply for protection from having your heat shut off from
October 15 through April 15 of each year. This means you must make
and keep a payment plan. If you cannot make your current payments,
call your utility immediately to set up a new payment plan. This
Cold Weather Rule only covers natural gas and electric heat.
