US Solar - September 2018

SWI TCH ING TO SOLAR WI LL SAVE YOU HUNDREDS! The rate at which Florida uses electrical energy is 14.95 percent greater than the overall average across the United States. Every month, a Florida resident is expected PAYING THE UT I L I T I ES

including additional fees and taxes that are tacked on to the bill. For instance, if you take the time to look through your electrical statement, you’ll spot a delivery fee — they charge the consumer for the transportation of electricity. This fee covers the cost of the equipment the electrical company uses to bring power into the house. Most industries don’t do this, as equipment is part of the cost of doing business, so the responsibility doesn’t get passed to the consumer. Then the homeowner gets taxed on the electrical service, which can be as high as 19 percent. It boils down to a simple equation— the more electricity you use, the higher the bills, fees, and taxes you’ll have to pay each month. Breaking away from the crushing cost the electrical companies put on you isn’t impossible, and the choice is entirely up to you. Owning a solar energy systemwill change your energy costs, and you’ll be in control. Instead of seeing a $150-plus charge on your electrical statement, you can expect $10.

to consume around 1,081 kilowatts of electricity, which equals about 1,500 horsepower. This is 19.7 percent higher than the national monthly average across the country. In 2015, nearly 87 percent of the natural gas delivered to Florida for consumers was used to generate electricity. The Energy Information Association states that residential electricity rates have increased by 20 percent in the last 10 years, and Florida was the third largest consumer. How is this happening? You might’ve already guessed —we’re the Sunshine State! The natural resource that brightens our days is also our downfall. Air conditioners work harder to keep residents at a comfortable temperature, and

homeowners are rewarded with high electric bills. Instead of fighting the sun and the electrical companies, you can use this resource to power your home. You don’t have to rely on them anymore — you’ll have control.

If you’re tired of fighting the electrical company and eager to cut back your costs, give US Solar a call! Let the sun lower your electric bill.
