NBC 5 DFW reported that over half of Americans are not prepared for the increased energy cost this summer:
According to a recent study, the upcoming summer heat could impact summer fun for a lot of households.
The study was released this month by DuraPlas Inc., a DFW-based company that produces components for the HVAC industry. The data shows 74% of Americans aren’t prepared for increased summer energy costs, with nearly half, or 48%, saying they’ll have to cut back on going out to eat or entertainment if necessary to cover the increase.
This comes as a dangerous heatwave sweeps through the nation this week.
Seventy-seven percent of people said they expect some level of increase in their summer energy bills and 63% report that they’ve already made lifestyle adjustments to cover the extra costs – with nearly a quarter saying those adjustments have been significant.
