Understanding Your Bill
Why is my bill so high?
There are many factors that can impact the amount of electricity you are using in your home, including seasonal weather conditions.
Did you know about half of your energy costs come from heating your home? In the colder months, additional heating will cause an increase in electric use because it takes more energy to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. You can't control the weather, but you can control your thermostat, which has a big effect on your bill. For thermostat setting recommendations, check out this article.
Changes in the number of people living in your home can also have an impact on your bill. During times of higher occupancy and activity such as holidays and school vacations, your energy usage can be higher than normal.
MyEnergy Insights is a helpful tool for understanding your energy usage. It provides an approximate breakdown your energy use by appliance, and also shows your usage by hour, day, month, and year. To help ensure these insights reflect the heating source and appliances in your home, be sure to complete the Home Survey.
If your bill seems higher than usual and you’re not sure why, contact our Customer Care team. We’re always happy to review your bill with you and provide energy advice.
How do I read my bill?
Your power bill contains information to help you understand your energy use. We provide a breakdown explaining everything you see on your bill here.
