How to Save on My Energy Bill (The "Texas Strategy")

In Texas, your AC is responsible for up to 50-70% of your summer electric bill. If you want to save money, you have to make your AC's job easier.

• Seal the Leaks: Check for gaps around windows and doors, but specifically check your attic scuttle hole.

• The 30% Tax Credit: Don't pay full price for efficiency. Use the federal tax credit to get $1,200 back on attic upgrades.

• The "Attic Mirror" Effect: By installing a radiant barrier, your AC runs 17% less during peak hours. That’s a direct reduction in the "delivery charges" on your electric bill.

• Maintenance: Change your filters monthly. A dirty filter makes your unit draw more power to pull air.
