How to Save Money on Your Pacific Gas & Electric Electic Bill

Many Pacific Gas & Electric customers are asking, "Why is my electric bill so high?" as electric rates continue to rise across the country. To combat these increasing costs, there are several strategies you can implement to save on your electric bill. Start by conducting an energy audit to identify areas where you can improve efficiency, such as upgrading to energy-efficient appliances or sealing leaks around windows and doors. Additionally, consider taking advantage of PG&E's time-of-use rate plans, which offer lower rates during off-peak hours, allowing you to save money by shifting energy-intensive activities to these times. Installing a programmable thermostat can also help optimize your energy usage by adjusting temperatures when you're not at home. Furthermore, PG&E offers various rebates and incentives for customers who invest in energy-saving technologies, such as solar panels or smart home devices. By taking these proactive steps, you can mitigate the impact of rising electric rates and enjoy a more manageable electric bill.
