Safety tips around your home for the new season
As the leaves turn and cooler weather approaches, experts agree now is the best time to check areas that may need maintenance around your home and perform improvements. Entergy Texas encourages customers to stay safe and consider the following safety tips when working inside and outside their home.
How the rising cost of natural gas affects your utility bill
This summer reached historically high temperatures, causing record-level electricity usage by our customers. Natural gas accounts for about a quarter of global electricity generation. While we have taken steps to limit our use of natural gas, we purchase natural gas to fuel some of our plants that create electricity for customers.
Near record-breaking temps lead to increased energy use and high bills
This summer is proving to be one of the hottest ever recorded. Continuously high temperatures are leading us to use our cooling systems more often and at a stronger level to stay out of the heat.
Keep your cool as summer heats up
The hot and humid weather can drive up your energy use, but you – and your electric bill – can avoid the burn without sacrificing comfort.
