JACKSON, Miss. – Signs of summer are already here. Don't sweat it by taking time to prepare your home for higher temperatures, which ultimately can help you save money on your utility bills.

During the warmer months, cooling costs make up more than 55% of an average customer's electric bill. This means that taking steps to save energy can help lower your electric bills when temperatures are hot. You can manage your energy usage and save money by installing energy efficient upgrades through the Entergy Solutions Marketplace for Entergy Mississippi customers. Examples of products and services available at little to no cost include LED bulbs, smart thermostats, AC tune-ups, duct sealing and insulation.

Additionally, both programs offer home assessments that yield energy efficiency recommendations. A Home Performance with ENERGY STAR assessment reduces the up-front cost of installing energy efficiency upgrades.

Customers also can save money with these quick and easy energy efficiency tips:
