High Bill

Why is my bill higher
than I expected?

We understand a higher bill can be concerning. We’re here to help you understand the details of your bill and offer solutions to help you manage your future bills.

Many Factors Can Affect Your Bill

Weather

Very hot or cold days can impact heating and cooling costs and cause fluctuations in your usage. Your use of other seasonal items like space heaters, pool pumps, and dehumidifiers may also vary.

Holidays & Vacations

Holidays may be an occasion for guests, additional cooking, and more time spent at home, all of which may result in higher use of home appliances. Even holiday lighting and decorations can all add up.

Household Usage

Changes such as a student back from college or others moving in can impact the cost to power your home.

Appliances

Old appliances use more energy than newer models. Others may still draw power when plugged in even if they are turned off.
