October, recognized as Energy Awareness Month, presents the perfect opportunity to drive out vampire power and eliminate other forms of energy waste from your home. Saving energy and money is a treat you can enjoy all year long; here are some easy steps you can take:

  • Embrace power-saving strips: Safeguard your home against vampire power and phantom loads by utilizing advanced power strips. These strips are equipped with the ability to detect when electronics are inactive and automatically cut off their power supply, resulting in significant energy savings. Qualifying Entergy Mississippi customers can save up to $25 with power strip incentives.
  • Upgrade to energy-efficient appliances: Make the switch to high-efficiency appliances such as heat pump water heaters, refrigerators and more, which are designed to reduce energy consumption and lower your energy costs. Enjoy online or in-store incentives on a wide variety of select ENERGY STAR® certified products, ensuring that your energy savings begin right away and continue with reduced energy expenses every day.
  • Put smart thermostats to work for you: Upgrade to Wi-Fi enabled thermostats that can intelligently adjust your home's temperature settings for optimal performance and energy efficiency. By purchasing an eligible smart thermostat, you can save even more with a $100 instant incentive from us.
  • Seal and insulate: Our Residential Energy Audit and Direct Install Program offers incentives on duct sealing, air sealing, and ceiling insulation. These upgrades play a crucial role in keeping your home comfortable year-round while minimizing energy waste.
