Paying Your Bill

$300 for your heating bill!?

Paying utility bills can be expensive. Most of us are surprised to see how much our utilities can cost. Energy costs, particularly gas and electric, can be managed by carefully watching how you use these utilities.

For instance, in the winter, watch your gas or electric usage, make sure your home is properly insulated, wear warm clothing and turn your furnace down at night. If you follow these guidelines they will directly affect your monthly bill. By applying the same awareness to other utility bills like water and phone, you can keep expenses under control and save money too.

But, even if you are careful about how you use energy you still may not be able to afford some services. If you have a low or fixed income, special needs or a hardship situation there are a number of programs that offer assistance.
