## Caption

Electricity bills have gotten out of control the past few years, due to AI data centers, outdated grids, and rising gas prices. 

A few real levers you can pull right now:

➡️ Check your utility's time-of-use rates. Running the dishwasher and laundry at off-peak times can potentially lower the bill.

➡️Apply for your state's energy assistance program. LIHEAP can help, and there’s a good chance you’ll qualify. 

➡️ Audit your bill for delivery charges, demand charges, or fuel adjustments. 

➡️ Get a smart thermostat if you don't have one. Certified models save energy, and many utilities offer rebates.
