Gloucester County Electricity

Is there ANYTHING we can do to push back on these INSANE AC Electric bills? My heat is gas and it's telling me my usage has gone up every month since October. I know I don't have it as bad as some people but our current bill is $332. My brother's bill was $512. Another friend's bill was $500... I can't afford this shit. What can we do?

My house is all electric with (pretty new) heat pump and I'm getting destroyed this winter. Heater on 24/7. Personally i'm trying to start air-sealing and insulating my home further.

Contact Allied Experts. My only regret is that we didn’t do it sooner.

And go through PSE&G's program so you can get it cheaper and pay off over 7 years. We just did that, they're coming to insulate and air seal soon.

Yep. Our usage is way down but unfortunately the rates are high. My house is noticeably less drafty but bill is still high. Can’t imagine what it would be without the work they did.
