Anticipating the arrival of severe winter weather, Atmos Energy is actively monitoring conditions and strategically deploying employees across its system for a prompt response.
With colder temperatures expected to impact natural gas usage, Atmos Energy encourages residents to adopt energy-efficient practices. Here are practical tips to ensure safety and conserve energy during the winter months:
- Avoid using ovens or gas stovetops as heating sources.
- Safeguard natural gas meters by clearing snow and ice with a broom or brush. Avoid using hard objects to chip away snow. For concerns, contact Atmos Energy’s Emergency Number at 866.322.8667.
- Keep external vents for dryers and other gas equipment clear to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. Seek professional advice if uncertain about proper venting.
- Prevent frozen pipes by leaving faucets running at a trickle, opening cabinet doors, and sealing windows and doors to retain heat.
- Conserve energy and reduce costs by setting thermostats to 68 degrees during the day and 58 degrees when away from home.
- In case of a suspected gas leak, promptly call 911 and Atmos Energy's emergency number at 866.322.8667. Evacuate the area safely.
