Why is my bill so high? – I haven't done anything differently.
The cold temperatures in January and February have kept most of us indoors and looking for ways to stay warm. Now you may be asking “why does my bill go up when it’s cold outside?”
- It’s a frigid fact that you use more energy in cold weather.
- In cold weather, your heating system works much harder to keep your home comfortable.
- Even if you don’t change your thermostat setting, it runs longer to heat your home. Even gas heating systems use electricity to power the fan and distribute the warm air.
