Why does my bill go up during the winter?

When temperatures drop, you’ll notice your electricity bills start to heat up. Electricity use is very dependent upon the weather and fluctuates with the seasons, going up in the winter and summer, and down in the spring and fall when it’s more mild. For most people, January, February and March bills are the highest of the year, which is no surprise because you are consuming a lot more electricity running your heating system in an effort to keep your home warm.

So what can you do to help save money on your electricity bill during the cold winter months, and also the warm summer months that are in the not so distant future?
