No two households use energy the same way, so comparing your energy bill to your neighbor's is like comparing apples to oranges. It is best to compare your current use to your past use.That is a more accurate record.

Remember to determine if the size of your household has increased or if someone stayed at home more.  Have you had guests staying for an extended period?  Have you added a new swimming pool orhot tub in your back yard?  Do you have hobbies that include the use of power tools, ovens and other high electrical resistance tools or appliances?
