Who's staying nice and toasty today, warming themselves next to a burning pile of your cold, hard cash? Xcel, that's who.
Recognize this couple? They're on some of your Xcel bills, although we think this depicts a more realistic reaction to the most recent version that for almost everyone was double what it had been.Snow from a late-December deluge still hasn’t melted on neglected sidewalks, bike lanes and bus stops, and tree branches broken by the heavy snow haven’t all been picked up, either.
Almost every bill nearly doubled from the previous month’s, largely in natural gas charges. However, a few people who are electric-only customers had bills that also went up significantly from the previous month.employees, the average increase from the previous bill to the current bill was $140.76. The highest increase was $309.62, and the lowest was $12.38 for an electric-only customer. Not one person shared a bill that had gotten lower or stayed the same.
Some people have even been left deciding between heating their homes and buying groceries, including Diane Wright, who is retired and lives on a fixed income in her Westminster townhouse. Temperatures are dropping, and so residents are trying to figure out ways to stay warm without incurring more costs.Georgette McGraw, who lives in the same community as Wright, made upgrades to her townhouse over the course of the last year to try to bring her Xcel bill down. She replaced her furnace and air conditioner with newer, more efficient models, installed a smart thermostat, and replaced half of the windows in her home.
For those who choose to use them, the company encourages following space heater safety measures. More than 65,000 home fires are attributed to heating equipment each year, according to the“When using a space heater, make sure the heater has the label showing it is listed by a recognized testing laboratory, and read the manufacturer’s instructions and warning labels,” Xcel states. “Never leave a space heater unattended.
