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-costs 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 the��myAdvisor��tool. 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.

Exploring resources through Bill Toolkit

To make sure customers have quick access to energy efficiency, bill management and financial assistance resources, Entergy created an online platform called��. The platform consolidates helpful resources for customers interested in exploring ways to lower their electric use and costs and learn more about different payment options the company offers.

Tracking energy use through myAdvisor

Meanwhile, customers can set electric usage alerts and monitor how much energy they use each day through bill management tools like myAdvisor which is available through their����account online. Tracking usage over time can help customers identify trends that contribute to higher usage and budget their monthly expenses. With the myAdvisor dashboard, customers have access to not only usage and cost details, but also bill history and projections, analyzer tools and more. On the Entergy mobile app, this information can be found by clicking the “usage” tab.

Managing bills through payment and assistance options

Entergy offers several flexible payment options so customers can choose when, where and how they receive their bills.

• ��allows customers to pay their bills when it works best for them.
• ��allows customers to “level out” seasonal energy use fluctuations, making their bills more consistent every month.
• ��billing allows customers to get their bills emailed as soon as they post and instant access to two years of billing history.
• ��allows customers to avoid late fees, writing checks and paying for postage by having bills automatically deduct from their bank accounts.

Entergy encourages customers who may need additional payment options to reach out. Customers can find out if they qualify for deferred payment arrangements or payment extensions on��our mobile app��or through����online.

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.

In New Orleans’ heat and humidity, a well-insulated and sealed attic helps

• Improve HVAC efficiency by reducing extra strain on your heating or cooling system and helping it last longer.
• Provide better humidity control.
• Minimize the pollen, dust, insects and/or other pests from entering your home.
• Make your home more comfortable all year round.

Signs your home may need better attic insulation

Representatives from the ���ϳԹ��� Smart office joined us for the walkthrough, sharing energy efficiency tools and tips with residents to help improve home energy use and support a more sustainable community.

During the inspection, line workers identified issues affecting the reliability of electric service and performed minor repairs on-site. Some of the repairs completed included:

• Fixing broken secondary arms
• Raising a crossing wire resting on a communication line
• Removing old utility poles

“Our walkdowns are a critical part of our commitment to reliability,” said Nyka Scott, vice president of customer service and economic development at Entergy New Orleans. “By proactively inspecting our infrastructure, we can address issues before they become larger problems and ensure the resilience and safety of our system, especially as we prepare for hurricane season.”

Entergy New Orleans will continue conduct walkdowns in every district to assess and improve our infrastructure. We appreciate ���ϳԹ��� Smart’s collaboration and look forward to continuing our shared efforts to keep New Orleans sustainable, powered, and prepared.

We encourage residents to play a part in this effort by reporting leaning poles or hanging wires to 1-800-9OUTAGE (1-800-968-8243), through the Entergy mobile app or��.
