That dreaded high bill, you get at least one or two a year. The weather heats up or cools down… Boom! Up goes the bill. Wouldn’t it be nice if your electric bills were more predictable?
Use this HomeEnergy calculator to assist in estimating your home’s energy usage.
For FIXED BILLING your past year’s kilowatt hour usage is averaged and your monthly charge is based on that figure. Your charge is recalculated during the Adjustment Month and again at the Catch-Up Month.
The key to VARIABLE BILLING is a rolling average of your monthly kilowatt hour usage. Each month your payment is recalculated as an average with the previous eleven months.
