Want to lower your energy bill and avoid mid-summer A/C breakdowns? Regular HVAC maintenance keeps your system running efficiently, safely, and longer. It's often cheaper to schedule routine checkups than call during a peak-season emergency. A clean system equals more savings.

You can help save energy by adopting small energy-saving habits, like turning off unused lights, using energy-efficient appliances, or hanging your clothes to dry. This energy saving tip is illustrated by Uma Pearl Simon and graces the month of June in KEYS’ Energy Conservation Calendar. 🌞

Today marks the beginning of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. Make sure you are prepared in the event of an emergency. Visit Ready.gov/kit for a list of basic emergency kit items you may need. What’s in your emergency kit?

FLORIDA LEGISLATION PROTECTS UTILITY WORKERS

Florida has strengthened protections for Keys Energy Services (KEYS) crews by enforcing strict assault and roadside safety laws. Together, these laws ensure workers maintaining our critical infrastructure are protected from both physical harm and traffic hazards.

The Utility Worker Protection Act strengthens protections by enhancing criminal penalties for assault or battery against utility workers maintaining critical infrastructure. Additionally, Florida’s Move Over Act requires motorists to protect roadside crews by moving over one lane for stopped law enforcement, emergency, utility, and sanitation vehicles. If moving over is unsafe, drivers must slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit. Compliance is mandatory and failure to do so can result in fines and license points.

"Our utility crews work in high-risk environments every day to maintain our system," said Lynne Tejeda, KEYS’ General Manager & CEO. "The Utility Worker Protection Act and the Move Over Act send a clear message, the safety of utility workers statewide is a top priority."
