I’ve only done it on mobile. Should be a couple drop down menus at the top. One usually is bill view and another for price or energy used. If you click the bill view you should see year and day. The day shows hour by hour.

Yea, everybody’s went up. Gas is 0.97 cents per unit, last year it was roughly 0.31 cents. Electrics gone up too. You’d want to look at the back of your bill and the graph online of your usage. The online one can show hour by hour. If your usage goes up when the temp starts to dip, then you can assume it’s your heat working to keep the place warm. Especially if you’re all electric. In general, heat pumps are great until about 30 degrees or so, after that it turns into a massive space heater that sucks electric. So the couple cold days and nights at Christmas would’ve really impacted the bill. Emergency heat in your furnace can use 14 kWh each hour.

Who is your supplier? Also have to look at the numbers on the back, not just the price. If your kilowatt hours didn’t change much, then your supplier is charging you more. If your kilowatt hours went up, then you want to look at when. There’s a graph online that can show hour by hour, day by day. If it went up when it got colder outside, that’s most likely due to your heat trying to keep up.

BGE isn’t owned by constellation anymore. They’ve split into two separate companies. BGE still has to apply for rate hikes through the PSC. There are still public hearings on each one of them.
Gas went up triple since last January. This is mainly because of the global shortage on natural gas. Good luck finding a better price for natural gas right now. Cold snap at Christmas is the coldest nights we’ve had in a few years. It’s written in plain English on your bill every month

To add to u/Kooky_Deal9566 … look at your bill. If you cannot find your contract, take the energy supplier price (usually just a one line when it’s a different supplier) and divide by your total kilowatt hours for that month. That will give you your price per kilowatt.
