How to Lower My Energy Bill
Energy bills can jump because of weather, usage, rate changes, old appliances or heating and cooling habits. PayGrouper helps customers check eligible energy bills before checkout.
PayGrouper prices are guaranteed for eligible products and bills after review when entered amounts are accurate and current.
Quick answer
A high energy bill usually comes from one of three places: usage, rate structure or fees. Heating, cooling, water heating, dryers, old refrigerators, space heaters and poor insulation can all raise the total. Seasonal spikes are common because energy usage changes across the year.
PayGrouper is useful when you have a current eligible energy bill and want to see if a lower PayGrouper price is available before paying the full amount.
See a lower PayGrouper price upfront
For supported electric or gas bills, PayGrouper can show savings before the customer decides whether to complete checkout.
Example only. Actual PayGrouper price, savings, provider eligibility and payment options may vary. PayGrouper does not cover 100% of any bill.
Check usage first
Compare current usage to the prior month and the same month last year when available.
Reduce the biggest driver
Heating, cooling and water heating often cause the largest changes in energy costs.
