The size of your electric bill is determined by two things: . Watts, which is the amount of electricity that each appliance uses, and . Hours, or the length of time you use each appliance The combination of watts and hours - or kilowatt-hours (kWh) - is what we use to calculate your bill each month. So saving on your bill is as simple as reducing either the wattage or the time you use an appliance. Your bill may also vary because of the number of days billed. If your electric meter was read at exact 30-day intervals, your bill would always cover the same number of days. However, because of holidays and weekends, it is not always possible to read meters every 30 days. If your bill seems unusually high or low, check the period of time the bill covers. Often times, that is the difference. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FACTORS AFFECTING YOUR ELECTRIC BILL Many factors can affect your electric usage, and consequently your monthly bill.

One step you can take is to reduce the amount of time you need to run devices that consume a lot of energy. Your air conditioner and furnace will be two of the biggest such examples. If you have a home that is properly insulated, you will be better able to retain the coolness or heat that they generate so that they do not have to run as long or hard as they would if they were seeping out. It will also help you be more comfortable in general. You can have an HVAC inspector come check out your home and they can tell you what areas of your home are not optimally insulated and then provide you with instructions on how you can fix them and lower your monthly electric bill.
