My electricity and gas bill is suddenly like $100 more than it used to be each month for a few months. The PG&E website gives me some info like “We think your heating usage is higher” and “the difference is mostly due to electricity rather than gas” and it gives tips like “Try setting your thermostat lower” (no way. I’m freezing all the time). I would still like to ask you folks if there’s anything you’ve successfully done to bring these bills down once they go up like this. I am in a pretty spacious townhouse in the Bay Area that I’ve been renting for 4 years. The landlord is inaccessible.
The graphs on the website show that the bills are also higher compared to this time last year so I don’t think it’s just that it’s winter?
The graphs also say that our usage is extremely high compared to similar homes.
My husband uses an electronic oxygen concentrator which runs 24/7 and I thought maybe that’s why? But the website graphs say that the heating is the most costly rather than appliances so I dunno.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
