<\/span>Michigan has ranked number 6 in <\/span>CNBC\u2019s America\u2019s Top States for Business<\/span><\/a> list! This is Michigan\u2019s highest ranking as well as the third year in a row in the top 10, ranking number 9 in 2024 and number 10 in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/b>With summer in full swing, we are seeing warmer temperatures that may raise your energy bill. Electricity generation is at its most expensive during hot summer weekday afternoons, when residential demand for electricity to power air conditioning peaks. Small acts \u2014 such as turning up the AC a few degrees, postponing doing laundry or delaying running the dishwasher \u2014 can help keep your energy bill in check. Installing and setting up a programmable thermostat could help you save up to 10% yearly on heating and cooling costs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
