Start with usage rather than the amount due. Your bill shows a 13-month usage history alongside average temperatures, which usually explains the change. Weather, a new appliance, more people at home or a failing system are the common causes.
- Compare usage with the same period last year.
- Check the number of billed days, since cycles vary.
- Ask an Energy Specialist to review unusual usage with you.
