Many energy providers and utility companies offer payment arrangements or bill-assistance programs. Available options may include payment extensions, deferred payment plans, budget billing, or waived late fees.
Reducing household electricity consumption can lower the usage-based portion of your bill. Begin by identifying which appliances and systems consume the most power. SaveOnEnergy’s home energy-saving guide and electricity usage calculator can help you find opportunities to reduce consumption.
If you live in a deregulated electricity market, you may be able to switch electricity providers or plans. A lower advertised rate does not always guarantee a lower bill, so compare the total price, fees, contract length, rate structure, and usage requirements before enrolling.
