For the past few months my electric bill here in north Texas has been climbing at an alarming rate and I was wondering if I am possibly being overcharged. There was something about many residences being charged in this manner on the news.
As a single person at home who barely uses any electricity other than for heating and I keep the thermostat at a constant 72 degrees (but ONLY when it is cold...mind you), otherwise I don't even turn on the heat at all. So I can't for the life of me figure out why my bill is over $300 the past couple of months!
Can someone please inform me who I can contact about extensive rate hikes other than a representative from the electric company as they are no help at all. I would like for someone to check into this more in depth just to make sure that my heating cost are absolutely true in addition to being fair.
I have cut back on so many things and even considering unplugging the refrigerator at night and anything else with a plug in device.

I live in Texas and changed over to Reliant and it has come down some. Some of it is the hype over global warming ,which just gives them an excuse to rob more. We are an elder couple and keep it set at 70 deg. and freeze. So for a little help change co. Good luck
