As the outside temperature changes, it's important to remember that the weather does affect your bill!  In addition, you usually pay for electricity 4-6 weeks after use.  Be sure to look at the timeframe your most recent bill covers - the previous reading date through the current reading date.

Monthly electric bills can increase by over $100 per device by using:

• Portable electric heaters
• Engine block heaters
• Heat tapes or heat lamps
• Livestock water de-icers
• ​Air conditioning units
• Pool pumps

If you use electric baseboard heat or have a heat pump at your home, your bills will also increase during the cold winter temperatures.  Conversely, if you have central air or a heat pump, warmer temperatures will increase your electric consumption.

Please use your electricity wisely!
