计费周期更长

Your bill may be higher if there were more days than average in the billing cycle. Refer to the "Service Period" on your bill for the length of your billing cycle.

未付余额

Your bill may be higher if there was a balance due from a previous month or another related account within Georgia Power.

计划变化速度

You may experience a higher bill if the price of electricity increased due to a recent Georgia Power rate or fuel case.

错误的设备

A faulty appliance, such as a leaky water heater, can lead to a surprisingly high bill. Georgia Power recommends having a licensed contractor perform a preseason checkup of your cooling system in the spring, and a heating-system checkup in the fall to avoid system failure and higher-than-normal bills.
