(Idaho Power News Brief, December 16 2025)
No matter where you are on your holiday shopping journey — finishing up, just starting, or treating yourself — Idaho Power has some ideas to help you give the gift of energy savings:
- Go high-tech at home with a smart thermostat. And if it’s for your own home, don’t forget to see if you qualify for Idaho Power’s $50 incentive: idahopower.com/heatingcooling.
- Keep your loved ones warm with sweaters, blankets, or other cozy accessories. Turning down the thermostat just one degree in the winter saves about 1–3% on heating costs.
- Upgrade a home office with a new laptop or tablet, which uses much less energy than a desktop computer.
- Grow into savings with a gift certificate to a local nursery to buy a shade tree to plant this spring to help reduce summer cooling costs.
- Gift glass or ceramic bakeware — these materials retain heat well, allowing you to bake at temperatures about 25 degrees lower than recipes suggest. The result? Energy saved and delicious dishes.
- Make someone’s meal prep a breeze with a new slow cooker, pressure cooker, toaster oven, or air fryer.
