We recently received our latest electric bill, and unlike last month, our year-over-year comparison doesn't look so good. Last year, we were bill $145 and some change for mid-July through mid-August. This year, we were billed $151.
The good news is that our usage is down by nearly 100 kwh, so that means that this uptick in our electric bill is likely due to a rate hike (I can never figure out how we're billed). However, little by little over the past month, I've gotten away from turning off the power switch to the desktop computer and unplugging the laptop when we're not using it. If I can make these actions a habit, hopefully our year-over-year bills will be lower, regardless of what the utility company does.
