Why My Electricity Bill is So High?
Everyone is asking: Why is my bill residential electric bill is so high?
This summer we will be talking a lot about why electricity bills are so high. There can be many factors. Let’s see why. The purpose of all my blogs is for our clients and future customers to learn a little more about their electricity and how it works.
As we know summer temperatures are extremely high which means that your kWh consumption will rise. If you follow the tips on how to save energy this summer in this blog and others that can be found on our website, I promise to help. Here is a chance why your electricity bill is so high:
Reasons why our energy bills rise
- High Temperature: This is the number one reason your electricity bills will rise this summer. Summer arrives and with high temperatures, your home will consume more kWh.
- Misuse of Appliances: The misuse of these devices can increase kWh consumption and this will raise your bill. Some of those that consume more energy are ovens, washing, and drying machine, dishwasher, irons, coffee makers, toasters, and of course air conditioning. I understand that these are appliances that we need and use daily but misuse can cost us a lot. Remember if you want to learn more about how to save energy you can read more of this in our blogs.
- Delinquent: This is very important because we have several clients who complain and they don’t really know what/how this happened to them and this is confusing. When the electricity bill comes to our mailbox it will always be the consumption of the previous month. It will always have its expiration date, approximately 10 days after you get the bill, after this, if no payment is received, you have 10 days and the company will send the disconnection order. After the disconnect order is sent you have 7 days before they cut their service. By this time the system already generated the other bill since, we are talking about almost 28 days, 2 bills generated, and some customers do not understand this. This is something that happens very often, sometimes happens that the bill does not arrive or the mailman put your bill in the wrong mailbox, try to call your provider to find out your balance and prevent gathering the bills.
- Not knowing how to read the electricity bill: Being able to read your bill can also help. Many of our customers do not know and we want you to understand how important this is. And back to the same (summer kWh consumed will rise, and this will increase your bill) not being able to read your bill can cause confusion. I have received calls from customers complaining that the electricity bill is too high and when I check their bill the rate did not go up but the consumption did.
