Why Texas Energy Costs Hit Harder

Texas leads the nation in both energy production and use — and summer cooling alone makes up nearly half of the state’s electricity demand. Here’s where your power goes:

  • 🌡️ Cooling: 45–60% of total home energy
  • 💡 Lighting: 8–12%, easily reduced with LEDs
  • 🔌 Electronics: 10–15%, even when “off”
💡 Quick Tip: Each 1°F higher on your thermostat saves roughly 3% on your cooling bill.

Smart Texas Energy Tips

⏰ Pre-Cool Smarter

Run your AC before 3 pm, then coast through peak pricing hours (3–9 pm). Smart thermostats like Ecobee or Nest can automate this for you.

💨 Fix Hidden Leaks

Up to 25% of cooled air can escape through leaky ducts. Mastic sealant is a one-time $20 fix that can save hundreds each year.

🌤️ Block the Heat

Use reflective curtains or solar film on west-facing windows to cut indoor heat by 3–5°F.

Your Impact: Dollars + Carbon

Each kWh saved is a double win — less money out, less carbon up.

  • 💵 Save $450–$750/year
  • 🌎 Cut ~1,200 lbs CO₂ annually
  • 🌳 Equal to planting 25 trees
If every Texas home cut 15% of usage, it would free enough energy to power 1 million homes during peak summer.

10-Minute Texas AC Check

  1. Set thermostat to 74°F at 5 pm; close all doors/windows.
  2. After 10 min, measure air at vent vs return.
  3. Target: 15–20°F difference. Under 14°F? You’re losing efficiency.
  4. Replace filter monthly (Jun–Sep).
