With Arizona's extreme summer temperatures your bill may increase as much as 50% from April through June.
Tip: Even if you don't change your thermostat setting, air conditioners run longer as temperatures become hotter which increases energy uses.

As the need for energy to run air conditioning units and other equipment in the summer increases, so does the cost to deliver it. And accordingly, summer months have a higher kilowatt hour (kWh) charge. So a change in your bill may not be that your business used more energy, but rather a new kilowatt hour (kWh) charge has gone into effect. You can determine if this is the case by logging into your account and comparing your usage this month to the same time last year or referencing the “Comparing your monthly use” section of your printed bill.

• Remodeling or room additions
• New window, new drapes or broken sunscreens
• Skylights and light tubes

• New baby
• Student home from college
• House guests
• School break
• Recent retirement

The kilowatt hour reading on your meter is continuous and any meter reads that are estimated will automatically adjust the following month.
