Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my ConEd bill so high?
NYC electricity rates ($0.28-$0.35/kWh) are double the national average due to: aging infrastructure, high real estate costs for substations, underground wiring (vs cheaper overhead lines), and delivery surcharges. Summer bills spike 30-50% from AC usage.
What are ConEd delivery charges?
Delivery charges cover ConEd's cost of transporting electricity to your apartment through their grid. They're regulated by the NY Public Service Commission and make up 40-50% of your bill. You pay delivery charges even if you choose an alternative energy supplier.
Should I switch to an ESCO for lower rates?
ESCOs (Energy Service Companies) offer alternative supply rates. Some offer fixed rates, green energy, or promotional pricing. However, the NY Attorney General has warned that many ESCOs charge more than ConEd's default supply rate over time. Compare carefully and read the fine print.
What is the average electric bill for a NYC apartment?
Studio: $70-$110/month. 1BR: $100-$180. 2BR: $140-$250. 3BR+: $200-$350. Summer months (June-August) are highest due to AC. Winter gas heating adds $50-$150/month on top of electric.
How can I lower my ConEd bill?
Use a smart power strip, switch to LED bulbs, set AC to 78F, use fans alongside AC, wash clothes in cold water, and consider time-of-use rates if available. ConEd's Marketplace offers rebates on efficient appliances.
