Cooler temperatures can increase power usage and bills

THE WOODLANDS, Texas - Cooler temperatures are moving through Southeast Texas, meaning some Entergy Texas customers are already turning on 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.

Customers don't have to compromise comfort to keep winter energy bills down. Entergy Texas' online Bill Toolkitconnects customers to bill management, energy efficiency and financial assistance resources. This new resource helps our customers explore simple ways they can lower their electricity use and costs.

Bill management resources

Customers can choose when, where and how to pay with our bill management resources, including:

• myAdvisor dashboard gives customers an estimate of what projected energy usage costs could be by the end of the billing cycle.
• PaperFREEbilling allows customers to get their Entergy bill delivered directly to their email as soon as it posts and instant access to two years of billing history.
• AutoPayallows customers to avoid late fees, writing checks and paying for postage by having their bill automatically deduct from their bank account.
• Pick-A-Dateallows customers to take full control of their budget by paying their bill on the date that works best for them.
