Last month, a significant intrusion of arctic air led to a 3-day period of below freezing temperatures and winter precipitation throughout the state. Many residents turned up their heaters to take the chill out of the air. Producing heat requires a lot of electricity, which can drive up your energy usage and bills.
Entergy Arkansas offers tips for maximizing your energy efficiency this winter.

Cooler temperatures are beginning to settle in the state, and some Entergy Arkansas customers may have already turned on their heaters to take the chill out of the air. While choosing what temperature to set the thermostat, keep in mind that heating your home uses more energy than cooling it.
