What should I do if my bill is higher than usual?

It is not uncommon for customers of San Diego Gas and Electric to experience fluctuations in their bills. Several factors could contribute to a higher than usual bill. First, it is important to review your energy usage during the billing period. Changes in weather, usage of new appliances, or increased occupancy in your home can lead to higher energy consumption.

Furthermore, utilizing the tools and resources on the SDG&E website may also help.

If after reviewing your bill you still have concerns about the higher charges, it may be beneficial to consider reaching out to customer service through the contact information available on their website. They can provide specific assistance regarding your account and help you identify any issues that may have contributed to the increase. Awareness of energy patterns and proactive communication can often alleviate concerns regarding unexpected charges.
