Easy tips to boost home energy efficiency and lower electric bill costs

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. Energy 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 Bill Toolkit. 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 myEntergy 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.

• Pick-A-Date allows customers to pay their bills when it works best for them.
• Level Billing allows customers to “level out” seasonal energy use fluctuations, making their bills more consistent every month.
• PaperFREE billing allows customers to get their bills emailed as soon as they post and instant access to two years of billing history.
• AutoPay 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 myEntergy online.

A Single Mother’s Journey from Hardship to Entrepreneurship 

When you step into Judith Nzale’s backyard, you’re greeted by a vibrant leafy garden filled with cabbages, lettuce, basil, leeks, onions, tomatoes, lemongrass, and many other indigenous vegetables and herbs. It’s a thriving space that instantly inspires you to plant something. Radiant, Judith passionately tends to her garden, an affection she passed on to her eight children.

However, Judith’s story wasn’t always one of abundance. Her journey to self-reliance began in 2018, when she fled the Democratic Republic of Congo, seeking refuge in Uganda. Upon her arrival to the Kyangwali Refugee Settlement, the harsh realities of refugee life set in when the settlement was hit by a cholera outbreak. Malnutrition weakened most of the refugees, making them vulnerable to disease. Judith watched helplessly as her fellow refugees succumbed to cholera. She watched in pain as her own children vomited and experienced kwashiorkor, a severe form of malnutrition. They were always hungry. “It was a hopeless time,” Judith recalls. “My children worried me the most. Food was scarce, and they were constantly sick.”

Judith remained hopeful. From Action Against Hunger, she learned about life-changing WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) practices such as handwashing, waste disposal, and clean food handling – practices crucial for combating malnutrition and disease. A turning point came when Action Against Hunger built Judith a latrine. “With many children and no latrine, open defecation is inevitable,” she explains. “Having a latrine helped me control many diseases among my children.”

Strengthened with her newfound knowledge, Judith joined the Village Health Team to train fellow refugees in hygiene and sanitation. This role not only allowed her to make a tangible difference in her community but also gave her a sense of purpose and confidence.

In 2022, another opportunity came Judith’s way. Action Against Hunger offered training on Optimized Land Use Management (OLUM) through its Farmer Graduation Program. Given her past struggles with malnutrition, she was determined to provide her family with a consistent supply of nutritious food. The OLUM approach allowed her to cultivate a year-round harvest of fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs on the tiny piece of land she had been given through Action Against Hunger’s program.

The Farmer Graduation Program is separated into three levels based on need and farming ability, ensuring that the proper support is given to those who need it most. Level 1 farmers, with limited resources and knowledge, are taught the OLUM approach on small plots of land. Level 2 farmers, like Judith, access a larger plot, meaning they have the potential to scale up production and join a farmer group in which they receive training through farmer field and market schools. Level 3 farmers, with advanced skills and resources, focus on commercial production and value addition.

Judith belongs to a farmer group named “Tunda lalo” which is Swahili for “its fruits.” She and her group members began cultivating maize and beans, and using the earnings from the farm’s surplus, opened a shop to sell some of her harvest. This venture allowed her to buy products in bulk and supply other traders in the community. She also started a poultry business, further diversifying her income. While expanding her agricultural endeavors, she continued to nurture her thriving backyard garden

Judith, single mother facing unimaginable hardship has become a resourceful farmer, businesswoman, and community leader. With the right resources and a determined mindset, refugees like her can build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

 

The Uganda Refugee Model: an Important Precedent for the World to Look To

Judith’s story is an example of what can happen when refugees are supported with resources to regain agency over the direction of their lives. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Refugees are forced to flee their homes for reasons such as persecution, conflict, or hunger, often with few belongings to help them start anew. There are currently 36.8 million refugees in the world, many of them facing inadequate access to food and water and increased risk of diseases as they make long, exhausting journeys in search of safety.

Once settled in another country, refugees can experience barriers to employment, healthcare, and food security. Many countries have strict regulations on refugees, such as requiring them to live in camps or denying them the possibility of obtaining work permits. Additional challenges like language barriers, discrimination, and post-traumatic stress can play a role in limiting refugees’ opportunities.

Recognizing the immense challenges refugees face, Uganda developed a plan to welcome them with dignity and opportunities to rebuild their lives. The Refugee Act (2006) was created using humanitarian principles as a guide for government’s refugee response plan. It established a set of rights that every refugee is entitled to, including — among many more — the rights to:

• own property,
• engage in agriculture,
• access employment opportunities,
• access healthcare services,
• access education,
• move freely within Uganda.

Fostering good relationships between refugees and the communities that host them is a priority for Uganda. Refugees and nationals work and live closely together: they go to the same schools, access the same healthcare services, participate in Village Savings and Loans Associations together, and more. Refugees like Judith who participate in block farming initiatives benefit from access to host community markets to sell their produce, and the host communities enjoy improved availability of fresh produce.

The Uganda Refugee Act creates a strong framework for governments, aid organizations, and other stakeholders to come together, supporting immediate needs of refugees and host communities while innovating solutions to the challenges refugees and host communities face. By enshrining refugee rights in law based on humanitarian principles, Uganda set an example for the world. It has continued to improve its approach with a bi-annual review of needs and an updated version of The Uganda Country Refugee Response Plan, which aims to holistically respond to challenges refugees and host communities face. At the most recent Global Refugee Forum in 2023, Uganda was a co-convener, recognized for its leadership in refugee response.

Good legislation alone cannot ensure that refugees’ needs will be met. Uganda does not have a strong GDP and its resources are strained. Significant developmental work is needed to bolster systems that support the 1.8 million refugees in Uganda — the fifth-highest refugee population in the world. Improvements in WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) infrastructure are sorely needed to improve the health and education rates of communities. The World Bank reports that modernizing farming techniques and focusing on climate-resilient crops will be essential to support food security and the prosperity of Uganda’s agriculture sector. As Judith experienced, hunger and illness are rampant in Ugandan refugee settlements, like every other refugee settlement in the world. To make matters worse, funding for programs that support Uganda’s refugee repsonse have taken a severe hit. It is the responsibility of all stakeholders to continue to progress on the foundation Uganda’s Refugee Model built.

 

The milestone Uganda Refugee Act of 2006 has not yet been in place for twenty years, and systemic change requires long-term, sustained growth. Like the seeds Judith received to start her garden, this legislation provides seeds of opportunity to learn about and improve refugee response plans. It must be cultivated and pruned by all stakeholders to grow. With a strong foundation in respect for refugees and host communities, Uganda’s approach is already yielding fruit for Judith and thousands of others.

Tell us a little bit about yourself and your career journey, to date.

I grew up in Southern California and worked various customer service and retail roles while attending college. I spent a few years as a Legal Assistant before relocating to Houston, where I worked in both small business and corporate environments— as an HR Administrator, Executive Assistant and Agency Coordinator.

When I moved to Austin, I accepted a Recruiting Coordinator role thinking it would be a temporary solution while I continued my job search. A month later, the company was acquired by GoDaddy and, after being introduced to the team, my feelings towards the role shifted in a more positive direction. The team at GoDaddy was open to feedback and collaborative in a way that I hadn’t experienced in a corporate environment. I’m now working as a Senior Recruiting Operations Specialist and have been with the company for six years.

What has driven your growth most through your career?

Developing the confidence to take initiative. Trusting my ideas enough to invest the time and effort in building projects that can demonstrate their value.

Can you describe a project or initiative you implemented that had a significant impact on the recruiting process?

When I started, the team had implemented a new system and was exploring ways to improve a Care recruiting process. I didn’t have much experience in the new system but wanted to participate in brainstorming. I, hesitantly, proposed an idea involving Recruiters individually managing aspects of their requisitions. The team not only listened but moved to quickly implement the idea. The process has since changed over the past six years, but that moment stands out because it helped me regain some of the confidence I had lost in previous roles and encouraged me to contribute more.

Recently, I’ve enjoyed finding opportunities where processes can be standardized or simplified. As a global company, this is often easier said than done—individual teams have specific needs, not to mention each country, region, and locality can have unique regulations and requirements. That complexity is challenging, but also exciting and pushes me to think creatively and strategically.

Can you share a memorable piece of advice that a mentor gave you that you still apply today?

“Be the type of person you’d want to work with.” It’s simple but a good reminder to be accountable, empathetic and positive in my interactions – because that’s the type of person I’d want to work with.

What are some ways in which you feel supported by GoDaddy?

I value the opportunities to give and receive feedback on our own performance and for others. It helps me reflect, stay aligned with my goals, and discuss career development.

I also take pride in working for a company that consistently walks-the-walk when it comes to a focus on diversity and inclusion. It’s evident in our hiring practices, policies, and ERGs. We are always introducing new tools and processes to ensure our candidates are receiving a fair and equitable experience.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

When it’s not too hot in Austin, I try to get out and enjoy all the live music, parks and entertainment the city has to offer. I enjoy the occasional camping trip, music festival and still have many places I’d like to cross off my travel bucket list. However, my favorite thing is really just hanging with friends (and my cat) having great conversation, cooking, watching movies, being lazy around the house. 9 times out of 10, I’m going to opt for the staycation over the vacation!
