To address the issue, ComEd has taken a piece of equipment out of service and is asking residents to curtail energy use until 7:30 p.m. Thursday in order to reduce the risk of outages in those two areas.ComEd is asking residents to do the following in order to curtail energy use: Raise your thermostat: Raise the thermostat setting 2-3 degrees and keep thermostats at a constant, comfortable level.
Do not use appliances unnecessarily: Hold off on using appliances like dishwashers, washing machines and dryers. Keep shades, blinds and curtains closed: About 40 percent of unwanted heat comes through windows. Simply closing blinds and curtains, which act as a layer of insulation, can reduce heat in your home.
