This graphic compares your energy usage from this month to last month and this month last year.
It also includes the average daily use, cost, and high temperature.
If you feel your usage is higher than it should be, please call 800-726-3953 to schedule a free energy assessment.
We include the average daily high temperature because heating and cooling is typically your home’s larger energy user.
Amid higher average temperatures in summer, your usage and bill are likely to be higher.
Amid lower average temperatures in winter, your usage and bill are likely to be higher (if you heat with electric).
If you have internet service with Tipmont, a detailed list of your charges will be listed here.
