What causes high bills?
High bills can be caused by increased natural gas usage in your home. Ask yourself the following questions to begin to pinpoint the cause of escalating gas usage in your home.
- Are all of my appliances working correctly? Are any of my faucets leaking hot water?
- Is my home well insulated, and are my windows sealed?
- Have I recently changed my natural gas equipment, or added new gas logs or a gas grill?
- Are there more people living in my home that may be causing me to use extra hot water for showers or laundry?
- Have I changed the way I'm setting my thermostat? Am I keeping my home warmer?
- Is my home being remodeled? Sometimes workers leave doors and windows open, or use more heat to dry plaster, drywall or minimize paint fumes.
- Have I recently put an addition on my home?
