It’s officially winter! If you’re from the northeast U.S., snowstorms are likely headed your way. Though they can be magical and exciting, storms and other bad weather can lead to power and other outages. Outages can quickly become dangerous, sometimes lasting days or longer.

Outages can affect entire communities. They can disrupt communication, water availability, and transportation; close businesses like grocery stores, gas stations, banks, and more; cause food and water contamination; and prevent the use of medical devices or medicine refrigeration.

As a business owner, being prepared and knowing what to do before, during, and after a power outage can help keep your staff and customers safe.

As the cold weather slowly arrives, it is an important time to look into locking in your energy prices. Typically, energy bills play a significant role in the operating budget of one’s business. If not prepared, energy market price fluctuations can affect this budgeting process, resulting in unpredicted expenses. Take the stress out of these natural gas and electric costs by relying on an energy company you can trust. When shopping around for an energy provider, there are things to consider to assure that you are in good hands.

When we think of Texas weather, relatively warm and temperate days come to mind, even in the winter. Last month, Northern Texas reached record-breaking cold temperatures that greatly affected residents of the state. Texans experienced freezing conditions and accumulating snowfall, and many were left without power and heat. Luckily, the temperatures are back to normal now – however, not only was North Texas affected but the rest of the nation was as well. Here at UGI Energy Services (UGIES), you can be sure that in a situation like the one just seen in Texas, we would walk you through each step of resolving these issues and how it correlates to your energy bill.
