Who Would Have Thought ... An Interesting Utility Bill?

Getting power data from our online Ga Power account was easy. I just downloaded the info, then inserted it into ZiptoGreen's "My Utility Bills" form.

It hasn't been so easy with the gas. But that's probably my fault. Someone (most likely me) already created an account, probably after the summer of 2006 when I began paying attention to energy use. I have no earthly idea what the user name or email is, and I need one or the other to access the account. I'll work on that later. It may be easier to dig up a year's worth of hard copies.

The hard copy Henk gave me is from November. A comparative graph shows a very sharp increase last year during January, February and March, with the highest usage in March. That's strange given that my husband was in the Netherlands for a month during that time. Either they got it wrong ... or I kept the thermostat too high while Henk was away. The bill wasn't particularly high in December, though. That's also strange given the incessant cooking, showers and elevated thermostat that come with Christmas company.

Anyway, the photo here shows what I've input into the form thus far.
