The average SRP electric bill depends on several factors such as the size of your home, HVAC system, insulation, window shading and how many people stay in the home. A good SRP bill should be no more than 100 dollars per 1000 square ft. this means that your highest bill on a 2000 square feet home should be either $200 or less. The higher your bill is than 100 dollars per 1000 square feet, the more room for saving energy you have.
You could make your business more energy efficient with high-quality ductwork, good insulation, and energy-efficient HVAC systems or you could choose the right SRP rate plan. You should perform energy audits on your home to know the reasons why your bills are higher than expected. Read on as we give you some of the top reasons why your SRP bill is too high and the fixes you can utilize to lower your bills.
The average SRP bill
Your average SRP bill depends on different factors such as the insulation of your home, the size of your home, window shading, the HVAC system, and how many people stay in your home.
Why are your bills so high?
Two reasons can make your SRP bills to be higher than expected. One reason is how much energy you use at home during SRP peak hours and the second reason is the condition of your home and the components and appliances you use such as air conditioning systems, windows, insulation, water heater, pool pump and doors. You can learn how to lower your electric billby solving these two main problems.
How much power do you use during peak hours?
Your SRP bill could be high because you use a lot of energy during the SRP’s peak hours. You may not realize your pull pump is on during SRP’s peak hours because your pool guy has the pump set and because that is best to keep your pool clean.You may also lack the necessary knowledge for programming your thermostat to raise a degree or two at peak hours and set it at the same temperature throughout the day. You may not want to change the settings of your thermostat and in this case, you have been educated but you are willing to pay more for it.
During the SRP’s peak hours, they are charging a high rate for energy and whenever your AC kicks on during the peak hours, you are going to pay more money for your energy. Here are some of the SRP’s peak-hour perpetrators.
AC run times
Newer AC units run more efficiently but it is not as much compared to the savings you will enjoy when you shift the usage of your air conditioner to off-peak. If you can practice super-cooling, it will not cost you anything and you will be amazed at how much your bill drops from this practice. If you have two units, you can reduce your SRP electric bill by ensuring both units don’t come on at the same time during peak hours.
