Cause of more electricity in spring season.
Answers
Explanation:
Every year, KEA receives calls from our members with concerns about their bills and/or meters. We get most of these calls during the winter months, and they come from folks who feel their electric bills are incorrect because they are higher than usual.
During the spring season , heaters are running, we are all inside more, the TV is on, the lights are on, the kids are inside, the refrigerator is open for snacks and so on. In other words, we all use more electricity during the spring season.
Often, we need to remind members that their usage will be higher. On an annual basis, the average usage for all residential consumers is 602 kWh per month. The summer average is 505 kWh (or approximately $78 for an average monthly bill). The winter average is 706 kWh — over 200 kWh more than in the summer. The average winter bill works out to be about $105.
If you are concerned about your bill, there are things you can do to reduce your usage and make sure your bill doesn’t rise as the temperature drops. What I would like to recommend is that on an occasional basis, check your electric meter. Think about what you have on in the house and look at your meter. See how fast it is spinning. The faster it spins, the more electricity is being used at that moment.
We try to call people when we see jumps in their usage. We also try to help people determine the cause of these jumps when they happen. There are times when we can help our members find problems in their homes or apartments that are causing increased electric usage. When trying to determine what your usage is, a rule of thumb is that any appliances or equipment that generates heat from electricity are your largest users.

One of the main reasons your electric bill may be high is that you leave your appliances or electronics plugged in whether you're using them or not. ... The problem is, these devices are sitting idle, sucking electricity out of your home while waiting for a command from you, or waiting for a scheduled task to run.
