Dear ,

 

If this is the first time you have received Texzon News, hello and welcome!

 

On January 1, 2002, the state of Texas opened its electricity market to full competition, allowing Texans the ability to choose their electric provider. A little more than a month later, on February 8, 2002, Texzon was born.  

 

As one of the first licensed aggregators in the state of Texas, Texzon has led the way, offering a better way for people to buy electricity. Texzon is proud of the role they have played in the growth of the deregulated energy industry in Texas and nationwide, and in helping thousands of customers find lower electric rates. We're especially thankful to all of our residential and commercial customers who have supported us over the past 10 years.

 

From humble beginnings (when Texzon's office was the kitchen table), through years of rapid expansion in the middle of the decade, and the volatile energy markets of today, Texzon has consistently been an industry leader and provider of exceptional customer service to it's customers.

 

It has been an incredible journey and we are extremely proud and happy, to be working with so many wonderful customers and the leading retail electric providers. Please allow us to say a big THANKS to all of you for making this journey possible. We look forward to continuing to serve you in the coming years and are more committed than ever to being "Your Advocate for Energy Savings."  

 

Looking for some low-cost or no-cost tips for energy savings as the temperature drops? Check out the article below from the Department of Energy.  

 

Texzon is your source for deregulated electricity. We are your energy advocate; finding you the best rate, making sure your provider is taking care of you and standing by you long-term. With multiple providers competing for the lowest rate, Texzon customers win!

 

Until next time... 

 

Your Advocate for Energy Savings,

Texzon


No-Cost and Low-Cost Tips to Save Energy This Winter

Here you'll find strategies to help you save energy during the cold winter months. Some of the tips below are free and can be used on a daily basis to increase your savings; others are simple and inexpensive actions you can take to ensure maximum savings through the winter.

 

Take Advantage of Heat from the Sun
Open curtains on your south-facing windows during the day to allow sunlight to naturally heat your home, and close them at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows.

 

Cover Drafty Windows
Use a heavy-duty, clear plastic sheet on a frame or tape clear plastic film to the inside of your window frames during the cold winter months. Make sure the plastic is sealed tightly to the frame to help reduce infiltration.

Install tight-fitting, insulating drapes or shades on windows that feel drafty after weatherizing.

 

Adjust the Temperature
When you are home and awake, set your thermostat as low as is comfortable.When you are asleep or out of the house, turn your thermostat back 10°-15° for eight hours and save around 10% a year on your heating and cooling bills. A programmable thermostat can make it easy to set back your temperature. Find out how to operate your thermostat for maximum energy savings.

 

Find and Seal Leaks
Seal the air leaks around utility cut-throughs for pipes ("plumbing penetrations"), gaps around chimneys and recessed lights in insulated ceilings, and unfinished spaces behind cupboards and closets. Add caulk or weatherstripping to seal air leaks around leaky doors and windows.

 

Maintain Your Heating Systems
Schedule service for your heating system. Find out what maintenance is required to keep your heating system operating efficiently. Furnaces: Replace your furnace filter once a month or as needed.

 

Reduce Heat Loss from the Fireplace
Keep your fireplace damper closed unless a fire is going. Keeping the damper open is like keeping a window wide open during the winter; it allows warm air to go right up the chimney.

 

When you use the fireplace, reduce heat loss by opening dampers in the bottom of the firebox (if provided) or open the nearest window slightly-approximately 1 inch-and close doors leading into the room. Lower the thermostat setting to between 50° and 55°F.

 

Lower Your Water Heating Costs
Water heating can account for 14%-25% of the energy consumed in your home.Turn down the temperature of your water heater to the warm setting (120°F). You'll not only save energy, you'll avoid scalding your hands.
