Billing
My energy bill is higher than I expected. Why?
There are a few reasons why your energy bill may be higher than expected:
- Remember that using energy-hungry appliances like heaters or air conditioners quickly adds to the cost of your bill.
- If you have guests staying at your home, this can increase energy usage and raise the cost of your bill.
- If you receive energy concessions, note that some concessions are seasonal and apply only during certain months.
