Fuck them, I’ve kept my entire A/C and heating unit off for over a month now. Actually, today is the 2nd day in a month where I turn the de-humidifier on.

Gotta say thanks to RI Energy for being soooo transparent that they are a piece of shit utility company. The plus side of making my blood boil is I have no need for heating anymore!

Do you use hot water? Probably, right? Do you have a gas furnace or gas stove? If you do then that's why you get charged for gas.

I knew this day would come.

Says trending towards, as I'm already using more cause its colder but in fact I'm not using more. I suppose it's to make the incoming rate hike appear to be our usage increasing.

That's all stuff that's regularly used. They act like I'm using heating. I haven't even removed damn ac yet.

It's legit, depends if they have your email and type of subscription. I need to remove these stupid ones.

It’s a guess that you’re trending towards. Because it’s a projection. They’ve also always sent these projections, long before it was RI energy, so no, it’s not to trick you into thinking you’re using more. They put a usage comparison right on your dashboard when you log in. It’s not the conspiracy you’re looking for.

…you realize that with colder weather it takes more to heat water right?

Yea, we don't turn it on til some time in November. We don't like it hot. Still need to take out ac.

I'll check the site to see actual chart cause I think the email itself is just generalized.

RI Energy did just put into effect that ridiculous 40-something-percent price increase. So if they're basing it off of usage in $, then everyone is going to be "using more" when in fact, we are just paying more.

I also get one multiple times a year telling me I’m using more electricity than my neighbors, I’m an electrician trust me I’m not

I just got the same one and I was like really? I'm also very sure that's not true. The people around me mostly all work from home, many have kids etc. I'm never home. I think that letter is even more douchey than this email, it makes it sound like they actually looked/checked.

Have you used your oven?

I read somewhere that the "neighborhood" is actually a large area and the "efficient" homes are the empty ones.

Omg I do too and I’m fairly certain I’m not using more electricity than anyone else.

😂 I don't doubt it
