Around this time of year, cold weather can mean higher bills for NES customers. Power bills are tied directly to energy usage, so when it’s colder, customers typically use more energy. Even when a customer’s thermostat remains at a constant temperature, energy bills will fluctuate according to outside temperatures.
NES offers a tool to help customers survey their energy usage. It’s called the Neighborhood comparison tool, which helps customers better understand their energy bill by comparing their energy usage to similar households nearby. The Neighborhood comparison tool can be accessed through a customer’s “MyAccount” on nespower.com. The tool generates a report that shows you how much energy your home uses and how that usage stacks up to that of your neighbors. The report compares a customer’s monthly bill to similar households near them over a 6–12-month period.
With Neighborhood comparison, customers can compare their usage to nearly 100 nearby occupied homes. The tool offers a breakdown of energy consumption by cost and kWh usage compared to households in their neighborhood. Additionally, Neighborhood comparison provides personalized energy saving tips and ways to enhance energy efficiency around the house, helping customers save money on their monthly bill.
If you’re wondering how much energy you’re using compared to your neighbors and are ready to learn about ways to save on your monthly bill, use the Neighborhood Comparison tool today!
