Why did my bill go up?

Add two bills. See what made it jump, in plain words, and what to check at home.

The short answer

A bill usually jumps for one of three reasons: you used more (heat, AC, a leak, a new appliance), the rate went up, or a new fee was added. Comparing two bills line by line shows which one it is.

Questions people ask

Why is my water bill so high all of a sudden?
A running toilet or a hidden leak is the most common cause. Turn off every tap and watch the water meter. If it still moves, you likely have a leak.
Why is my electric bill high in summer?
Air conditioning is usually most of it. A dirty filter, low refrigerant or leaky ducts can make the AC run much longer.
