Hot Summer And Sizzling Electric Bills

South-west Michigan has experienced a hot July, and August is showing promise of more hot weather. If you are not on a budget plan with your electric utility, check your electric bill to see if the meter reads are estimated or actual. If the reads are estimated, check your electric meter. There are reports that estimated readings are excessively high, resulting in over-billing. To correct this, telephone your electric utility with the correct meter reading, and ask them to generate a corrected bill. This has saved some consumers hundreds of dollars on their July electric bills alone.
