Recognizing Other Bill Factors

The number of days in your billing cycle, estimated meter reads, adjustments and other non-usage charges (deposits, connection fees, returned checks, Transmission and Distribution Utility pass-through charges, etc.) can impact your bill amount.

How Weather Affects Your Bill

Weather is the number one cause of high bills. Significant swings in outside temperature may make your electric cooling and heating equipment operate for longer periods of time than usual. Only a few days of extreme temperatures can increase your usage and cause your bill to be noticeably higher. We've got energy-saving tips for every season, appliance and part of your home.
