PowerHouse March Tip of the Month: Check out My Home

Monitoring and managing your energy use is one of the easiest ways to make smart choices at home. If you ever wonder why your bill changes from month to month or wish you had a clearer picture of where your energy goes, My Home can help. It’s a free online tool through My Account. It puts all your energy information in one convenient place.

World Energy Efficiency Day is this month, so it’s a fitting time to take a closer look at how your home uses energy, especially as weather shifts. Spring weather can change quickly, bringing warm afternoons one day and cool temperatures or rain the next. These swings can influence how much energy a home uses, often more than people realize.

My Home gives you the tools to see what drives your energy use and identify small changes that make a difference. When you understand how weather affects daily and monthly usage, you can plan and adjust to improve comfort and efficiency.

With just a few clicks, you can start to identify:

  • When your energy use typically peaks so you can plan high‑energy use tasks more efficiently.
  • Whether certain appliances or routines use more energy than you expect.
  • How weather patterns influence your energy use throughout the year.
  • Where small adjustments might lead to monthly savings.
  • These insights can help you make simple decisions that fit your lifestyle. You don’t need to make major upgrades to make a difference. Even one or two simple shifts can add up over time.
