7 Lighting Tips for a Safe, Efficient and Festive Holiday Season
It's that time of year when most of us deck the halls to make our homes bright and cheery for the holidays. If you’re among those purchasing plug-in decorations for the holiday – or are using older lights – consider these tips to avoid shocks and fire hazards and save energy.
Be a HEERO
You can be a hero to families facing financial hardships caused by the global pandemic by contributing to the Help with Emergency Energy Relief Operation (HEERO). Simply round up your electric bill payment to the next dollar amount or make a contribution to help customers who need assistance paying their utility bills. Visit tep.com/heero for more information and to sign up.

In the Community
Despite limitations for our volunteers to be out in the community, TEP continues to support several events that brighten the holidays. TEP is supporting Wanderland: A Holiday Garden Stroll at Tucson Botanical Gardens, 2150 N. Alvernon Way, through Jan. 3 and Tohono Chul’s virtual visits with Santa Claus through Dec. 24.

Gift Giving Continues to Support ClubWhile our volunteers are unable to help at many in-person events this year, TEP is getting creative to again brighten the holidays for youngsters in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson. |
Keeping Alleys Clean and ClearCluttered alleys not only hinder our efforts to restore power quickly during an outage, but can delay scheduled upgrades to our grid that improve service reliability. |
