There is a nice chill back in the morning air, the leaves are turning, and here at WG+E/Whip City Fiber, that means it’s time to get your home ready for winter and celebrate the season with your neighbors.
We are still celebrating after the opening of the new sports complex at Westfield High School. Seeing so many familiar faces come out to support the new athletic facilities and so many Westfield Bombers athletes make us very proud to be a part of this community. Thank you to everyone who joined us. We can’t wait to see this space become a home for Westfield athletics and community events for years to come. Go Bombers!
If insulation upgrades have been on your list, now is the time. We’ve tripled the Insulation + Weatherization rebate through the end of the year, covering 50% of qualifying insulation, air sealing, and blower door testing, up to $3,000. This offer runs September 1 through December 31, 2026.
Mark your calendars, Saturday, October 17th, we’re bringing something new to Pumpkinfest this year. We’re launching the Autumn Arcade, a lineup of games and prizes for the whole family. Stop by for free popcorn, a shot at winning some great giveaways, and plenty of opportunities to chat with our crew about the work we’re doing to keep Westfield powered up, connected, and warm this winter.
Your internet is getting a serious upgrade! Whip City Fiber now offers 2+, our gigabit internet service, built to keep up with everything your household or business throws at it. With speeds more than double our standard gigabit service, 2+ gig means more bandwidth and lower latency, so you can stream, game, and run every device in the house at once without missing a beat.
As we head into storm season, we want to make sure you’re set up to stay informed. Our Outage Tracker App was retired in September. If you’ve been using the app, now is the time to switch over to Two-Way Texting, our simple way to report an outage and get updates right to your phone. Register your mobile number at www.wgeld.org/promo/outage-alerts. You will automatically receive a message when there is an issue with your service. Or, registered numbers can text 1-888-525-1834 and use OUT to report an outage, STATUS for the latest update, and HELP to see all of the commands. A few minutes now means you’re ready the moment the
weather turns.
Fall always feels like a good moment to pause and say thank you. Whether you’re adjusting the thermostat, streaming your favorite show, or just flipping a switch without a second thought, we’re glad to be the ones you count on.
