Beat the Heat and Slash Your Bill | Savannah News

Triple-digit heat is driving up your electric bill—and Dominion Energy’s got the numbers to prove it. Residential rates have jumped nearly 40% since 2021, with cooling now eating up 60-70% of your bill during peak heat. Experts say you’ll pay nearly $800 more from June to September—up 10% from last year. Save cash by setting your thermostat to 78°F, changing filters monthly, sealing drafts, and running appliances in cooler hours. While the grid’s holding strong, storms after heatwaves are the real threat—Dominion’s crews are ready across the Tri-County region and South Carolina. Plus, they offer free tools: an online bill analyzer, in-home energy checkups, and the Energy Savings Finder to unlock rebates and help you cut costs.
