Need help with outrageous light bill

Beverly_E started this conversation
I don't know if anyone here actually helps anyone but my light company is legally screwing me. We've cut back on everything electrical, but our light bill continues to go up. My husband is out if work and I work for minimum wage. We need help, but can't find any. we have two small children that are gonna be in the dark if someone doesn't help us.

If I run across a community program I will post it as for now this is all I can find. I can't get help with my utilities but some can.

Best to you

I really hope you can come up with the money to pay this bill, I wish I could help but I am broke. I will give you some advice tho. one of my friends was having problems with his electric furnace and it was only operating at half potiential, causing $250 electric bills, make shure your filters are clean, and make shure it is functioning correctly, also you can buy a programable thermostat you can program the heat to shut down or just keep the house warm enough to keep water flowing. that would cut down on alot of energy use.
