Entergy Arkansas helps customers stay cool and save money this summer /news/entergy-arkansas-helps-customers-stay-cool-and-save-money-this-summer Wed, 04 Jun 2025 19:57:53 +0000 /?p=17972 Easy tips to boost home energy efficiency and lower electric bill costs

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – 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.

According to the U.S. ϳԹ Information Administration, home heating and cooling costs can make up more than 52% of an average customer’s electric bill. In some cases, poor insulation, air leaks and inefficient HVAC systems can lead to even greater energy costs each year. To keep your home cool without significantly lowering the thermostat and save money on your bill at the same time, try these low-to-no-cost tips.

Improving energy efficiency with low-to-no-cost tips

  • Change air filters. Air filters on some air conditioning units require monthly cleaning or replacing.
  • Set your thermostat to the highest comfortable temperature. The smaller the difference between the inside and outside temperatures, the lower your energy usage and bill will be.
  • Buy a programmable thermostat. A programmable thermostat can help manage costs, is controllable, and can help monitor usage.
  • Use fans to cool off. Ceiling fans, box fans and oscillating fans use very little electricity to circulate the air. Make sure ceiling fans are rotating in the right direction – counter-clockwise during summer – to push cooler air down into the room. Be sure to turn all fans off in unused rooms.
  • Close blinds, shades and curtains to keep the sun out and the cool air in. Also, close air conditioning vents in rooms that are not in use.
  • Seal cracks and holes around doors, windows and ductwork. Weather stripping and caulk will help keep the cold air in and the hot air out.
  • Use themyAdvisorٴǴDZ. The usage and cost tool can compare usage history by month, day and hour.

By following these simple steps, you can stay cool and comfortable all summer long while keeping your bills under control. We also offer free comprehensive residential energy audits and rebates to help reduce the upfront cost of installing energy-efficient equipment.

Powering progress through partnership /blog/powering-progress-through-partnership Wed, 21 May 2025 21:55:08 +0000 /?p=18091 A stronger, more resilient New Orleans starts with meaningful investments in our communities. For the sixth consecutive year, Entergy New Orleans proudly sponsored Rebuilding Together New Orleans’ annual Build and Boil, reaffirming our long-standing commitment to community development and neighborhood revitalization.

Entergy New Orleans contributed both financial support and volunteer power. Eighteen employees worked on two homes in the Gentilly neighborhood clearing debris, filling dumpsters, restoring fencing, building a pergola, and installing a garden. These efforts brought meaningful improvements to the families’ homes and enhanced the safety and vitality of the neighborhood.

“At Entergy New Orleans, we believe that building a stronger, more resilient city starts with investing ion our communities- block by block, neighbor by neighbor,” said Stephanie Willis, director of public affairs for Entergy New Orleans. “Our partnership with Rebuilding Together New Orleans reflects that commitment. We’re not just restoring homes – we’re restoring hope, safety, and efficiency for families across the city.”

Our ongoing collaboration with Rebuilding Together New Orleans highlights the impact of corporate-community partnerships in driving meaningful change. Through financial support, hands-on service, and a shared vision for safer neighborhoods, Entergy New Orleans continues to help strengthen the city we call home.

We thank Rebuilding Together New Orleans for their leadership and vision. We also extend our gratitude to the volunteers, sponsors, and community members who made this year’s Build and Boil a success. Together, we’re building more than homes—we’re building a stronger New Orleans.

Entergy Texas helps families beat the heat with no-cost A/C tune-ups and energy efficiency upgrades /news/entergy-texas-helps-families-beat-the-heat-with-no-cost-a-c-tune-ups-and-energy-efficiency-upgrades Fri, 16 May 2025 03:20:00 +0000 /blog-post/entergy-texas-helps-families-beat-the-heat-with-no-cost-a-c-tune-ups-and-energy-efficiency-upgrades/ CLEVELAND and HUNTSVILLE, Texas – As temperatures rise across Southeast Texas, Entergy Texas is stepping up to help customers keep cool, comfortable and in control of their energy bills. Through a series of community events in the Cleveland and Huntsville areas, the company’s energy efficiency team partnered with local contractors to offer A/C tune-ups at no cost to customers.

This effort is part of Entergy Texas’, which provides free HVAC services valued at more than $200 per home. Qualified technicians clean and maximize the output of A/C systems, improving performance and helping qualifying customers lower their energy usage without sacrificing comfort.

“We know the Texas summer heat can be relentless, and so can high energy bills if systems aren’t running efficiently,” said Mark Delavan, energy efficiency program manager for Entergy Texas. “These tune-ups can make a big difference in the homes and wallets of our customers. We’re proud to offer these services at no cost, so Texas families can stay cool and worry less throughout the summer months.”

In addition to A/C tune-ups, customers in the Huntsville area also received free energy efficiency products and home weatherization upgrades, including ceiling insulation and sealing around ducts, doors and windows—improvements designed to keep cool air in and hot air out. For some Huntsville residents, the upgrades brought more than just cooler air—it brought peace of mind.

“It’s wonderful to have a team come to your own home, show us that you care and ensure my home will be safe and efficient,” said Precious Hall Scott, an Entergy Texas customer.

Scott, a Huntsville resident, took advantage of the opportunity to service both her home and her mother’s home, who lives next door.

“It’s great to get extra help to be more efficient and lower the cost on future bills,” added Scott. “The whole process was very easy. Everyone was very kind, and they were on time. We truly appreciate everything the team has done today.”

For the last three decades, Entergy Texas has provided programs, offerings and services to enable customers to improve the energy efficiency of their homes. Since 2019, the company has invested over $17 million into energy efficiency programs like CoolSaver, helping thousands of customers save energy and reduce their bills.

Customers who were unable to attend the recent events still have access to energy-saving solutions through the company’s year-round energy efficiency programs and products. To learn more, visit.

Mount Carmel Academy champions energy efficiency through Entergy New Orleans’ ϳԹ Smart Program /blog/mount-carmel-academy-champions-energy-efficiency-through-entergy-new-orleans-energy-smart-program Thu, 08 May 2025 21:34:33 +0000 /?p=13369 Entergy New Orleans supports organizations that prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency. Mount Carmel Academy, an all-girls Catholic high school in New Orleans, exemplifies this commitment through its successful participation in the ϳԹ Smart Large Commercial Automated Demand Response Program.

Located in the Lakeview neighborhood of New Orleans, Mount Carmel Academy serves 1,200 students across its 9-acre campus. While the school did not face critical energy cost issues, it saw an opportunity to reduce its energy use and lessen environmental impact. Its decision to enroll in the ϳԹ Smart program demonstrates leadership in responsible energy management.

ϳԹ Smart’s Large Commercial Automated Demand Response Program rewards organizations that reduce electricity use during peak demand periods. Mount Carmel Academy recognized this as a clear opportunity to support our electric grid and promote sustainability. Since joining the program in 2021, the school has earned $51,237 in incentives. More importantly, it has reduced its energy footprint while reinvesting those savings into its facilities and education programs.

“As committed environmental stewards, we recognize the importance of conserving our planet’s finite resources,” said Sister Camille Anne Campbell, president of Mount Carmel Academy. “This program not only aligns with our values but also presents a great opportunity to teach our students about sustainability and resource conservation,”

The academy’s participation also serves as a teaching tool as it integrates real-world examples of energy conservation into the educational experience. The initiative reflects a deep sense of environmental responsibility, not just from the school’s leadership, but from the student body as well.

Mount Carmel Academy continues to lead by example, showing how educational institutions can play a vital role in building a more sustainable New Orleans. Entergy New Orleans’ ϳԹ Smart program is proud to partner with a school that turns environmental values into measurable action.
