Weather Fluctuations
About half of our energy costs come from heating and cooling our homes. We recommend keeping your thermostat set to 78°F in the summer and 68°F in the winter. More energy-saving tips can be found here.
Faulty Appliances
A faulty appliance, such as a leaky water heater, can lead to a surprisingly high bill. We recommend having a licensed contractor perform seasonal checkups of yourcooling and heating units to avoid system failureand higher-than-normal bills from unknown energy usage.
Longer Billing Cycle
Some billing cycles are longer than others, so your bill may be higher if there are more days than average in the billing cycle. Refer to the "Service Period" on your bill for the length of your billing cycle.
