Reading your bill…
First read takes a few seconds — we cache the analysis so reopening this bill later is instant.
Your April electric bill of $242.08 suggests you may be overpaying by $34–$82 per month. At $0.272/kWh, your rate is higher than typical for Con Edison residential customers, and your usage of 890 kWh appears elevated for a 1,450 sq ft home. Specific changes below could narrow that gap.
Two factors are likely driving your costs. First, delivery charges make up 32% of your bill ($78.10), which is higher than the typical share for electric service. Second, your usage jumped 44% compared to the prior month, suggesting increased air conditioning or other seasonal loads as temperatures warmed in April.
Delivery is 32% of this bill. Most room to save sits in rate-plan choice and the supply component, not in cutting usage alone.
