New Orleans residents face a pressing challenge – our hot, humid climate demands energy-intensive cooling, and the city’s aging buildings can contribute to energy waste. This combination leads to higher utility bills, placing a significant financial burden on households. Effective energy efficiency programs can help address these challenges.

Enhance the energy efficiency of your home while maintaining optimal comfort by weatherizing your house. Did you know that the attic is often the prime area for significant energy-saving opportunities? Many homes in the U.S. suffer from insufficient insulation and notable air leaks. By properly sealing leaks and adding insulation, you can enjoy increased comfort and save up to 11% on your annual energy costs.

Adjusting the thermostat and dressing comfortably is a cost-effective way to minimize your winter heating costs. As the weather turns colder, throw on a sweater, lower the thermostat and start enjoying the savings and comfort. You can also opt for a sweatshirt, flannel pajamas or whatever suits you. As an added bonus, today's smart technology makes saving energy and staying comfortable easier than ever before.
