Your electric bill amount will vary from month to month and from season to season. Here are some reasons why:
- Changes of season - Air conditioners, fans and refrigerators run longer and work harder during the hot summer months.
- Changes in household size - Moving to a larger home, adding a child or house guests will increase your electrical needs.
- Adding electrical equipment - With each purchase of additional TVs, DVDs, PCs, hot tubs or swimming pools, your electrical use will increase.
- Home projects - Tools and equipment used to build a new deck or remodel your home will use added energy.
- Seasonal rates - The cost to provide electricity is highest during the four-month summer season (mid-May through mid-September), so prices are slightly higher as well.
