Tips to Manage Summer Energy Costs
On the first official day of summer Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E) shares strategies to help customers save energy
and keep costs down as temperatures continue to rise. Customers can
utilize these simple steps, free tools, and programs to minimize
the impact of summer heat on energy bills.
“Energy use typically increases during the summer months as the
air conditioner accounts for more than half of the energy consumed
in the average home or business. These customer tools and programs
help make it easier for the system to work more efficiently, which
can help customers save on energy bills,” said Aaron August,
PG&E’s Vice President of Business Development & Customer
Engagement.
Five Simple Ways to Save
- Raise the thermostat and turn it up or off when leaving.
Customers can save on annual cooling costs for each degree the
temperature is increased in their home during the hot summer
months. Set the thermostat at 78 degrees when at home, health
permitting. Turn it up to 85 degrees when not at home.
- Install a smart thermostat. Enroll in PG&E’s SmartAC
Program and receive a smart thermostat at no cost1 after instant
enrollment bonuses.
- Check air filters once a month. Dirty filters cause the
system to work harder to keep the area cool, wasting energy and
money.
- Replace Inefficient Appliances and Electronics. Find and
compare top energy efficient appliances and electronics. Check out
customer ratings and available rebates to determine the best option
for your home. Visit PG&E’s new Energy Action Guide for more
information.
- Sign up for programs: Income-qualified programs offering
a monthly discount include the California Alternative Rates for
Energy (CARE) and the Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA)
Program. Some may also qualify for the Energy Saving Assistance
Program offering free improvements to make the home more efficient,
safe and comfortable.
Other programs include Medical Baseline offering a lower monthly
rate for customers with certain medical conditions, Budget Billing
averages out energy costs for more predictable monthly payments,
and Bill Forecast Alerts are notifications when a monthly bill is
expected to exceed a specific amount set by the customer.
