As summer approaches and temperatures continue to rise, air conditioners will start running full blast and lead to an increase in electricity usage. However, staying cool and comfortable does not have to come at the cost of high energy bills. By making a few simple changes around your home, you can improve its energy efficiency and beat the heat while keeping costs down.

Signs of summer are already here, and temperatures are starting to climb. After experiencing record breaking heat indexes in 2023, Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans are providing tips on how to prepare your home for the high heat and manage your bill this summer with our newly launched Bill Toolkit site.

During high temperatures, cooling costs make up more than 55% of an average customer’s electric bill. This means that taking steps to save energy can help lower your electric bills when temperatures are hot.

Entergy recently provided several free or low-cost steps customers can take to conserve energy and potentially save money on their utility bills; however, if customers have already received a high bill, the company offers several options for managing costs and receiving bill assistance.

Energy New Orleans is offering residential customers rewards for recycling their secondary refrigerators or freezers.
