Changes in the amount of energy you use may cause your bill to increase. In addition, factors such as residential utility rate changes or weather changes are other reasons your bill may appear higher than normal. You can determine whether your bill is higher than normal by comparing your energy usage this month to your energy usage last year for the same month. Outside temperatures can affect your bill in the following ways: During the winter months, if temperatures are colder than last year, you can expect to use more energy to heat your home so your heating bill will be higher. The same holds true during the summer months. If the temperature is hotter than last year, you can expect to use more energy to cool your home, which will result in a higher energy bill. For a more thorough analysis of your bill, please contact a customer service representative.

Gas and electric meters record the total amount of gas or electricity used. You can check your energy consumption by learning to read your own meters. It's easy; just follow the steps below:

Gas Meter. To read your gas meter, refer only to the four major dials on your meter. Go across the dials from left to right and write down the lowest number the hand of each dial has passed.

Electric Meter. To read your electric meter, refer to the four, or in some cases, five major dials on your meter. Go across the dials from left to right and write down the lowest number the hand of each dial has passed.

Figuring Your Consumption. To determine the amount of gas or electricity used during your last billing period, simply subtract the previous month's readings from the current month's readings.
