Do the energy audit. They’ll tell you how, and you can fix a lot of it for pretty cheap since all of the it is rebates.

Oh yeah! We got free insulation a couple years ago, best deal!

How is your bill still so high? You guys got something going on eating mad electricity.

It’s my buddies. They have oil/electric heat. But idk how they’re that high. Unless they’re cranking the heat to 80°. But the electric is upstairs only, so you’d think they’d be fine.

If you don’t mind me asking this seems like a lot. How is this possible? How did it become so high?

Eversource supply and Eversource delivery, I presume? BIG jump in January. No idea why Eversource supply cost is so much higher than many suppliers listed on https://energizect.com/rate-board/compare-energy-supplier-rates (except that people pay it?).

It's the electric heat that is a killer

Yes, it’s the electric heat and not enough insulation. We do have Eversource as our supplier but I think the first two are the biggest reasons.

I’d definitely look into insulation or alternative suppliers or something to help make your home energy efficient because for two people that seems like a lot and I abused my electric heat 2 years back and had so many things running

Oh.. and another big reason is my husband refuses to turn down the heat. He said he’d rather get a second job lol.
