Increasing Electricity Bill?
There are plenty of reasons your client’s electricity bill may be increasing. While they can take action to lower their rate consistently, the first step is figuring out why the bill has jumped.
To help your clients start saving money, we’ve identified several causes of high household power usage and what consumers can do to lower their rate of use.
What Causes a High Electric Bill
Several factors can cause an electric bill to increase:
- Unnecessary charging time for devices: Keeping your computer or phone plugged in all night can lead to an unusually high electric bill.
- Inadequate insulation: Drafty attic spaces and old windows can also drive up costs.
- Vampire appliances: Even if they are not in use, devices that stay plugged in all day continue to suck energy.
- Running appliances that are not filled to capacity: Your washing machine and dishwasher, when not filled to maximum capacity, may be the culprit behind your unusually high bill.
- Light bulbs: Traditional light bulbs may be to blame for excessive energy expenditure.
- Extreme weather: Drastic weather or temperature changes can impel you to turn up or down the thermostat.
