"The average cost of keeping the house cool in the U.S. is expected to jump by nearly 8% this summer, [on] average $719 for June - September 2024, compared to $661 last year.
[In 2015] about 1 in 5 U.S. households reported reducing or giving up certain necessities like food and medicine to cover the cost of their energy bill. Just over 1 in 10 said that they keep their house at unhealthy or unsafe temperatures to prevent using more energy. "
