| COMMON CAUSES OF HIGH
BILLS |
| To gain control over your energy
consumption, it's helpful to understand the most
common causes of high bills: |

Weather |
| • |
Fuel costs |

Electronics and
appliances |
| • |

household |

| Get all the details on the causes
of high bills. |
| DID YOU KNOW? |
| Larger TVs, like plasma and HDTVs,
use more electricity than your refrigerator.
They also produce heat, which makes your air
conditioner run longer. These electronics
consume standby power even when they are
off. |
| Use the online appliance calculator to
see how much it costs to run your other
household
appliances. | |
IT'S THE HEIGHT OF HURRICANE
SEASON:
BE READY, STAY SAFE |
| Hurricane season doesn't end until
Nov. 30, so be prepared. If a storm threatens,
FPL has a comprehensive plan of action, and you
should, too. |

| FPL BUDGET BILLING® GIVES YOU A
MORE STABLE BILL |
| The Budget Billing program gives you
more predictable electric bills by evening out
your energy costs over the year so you pay about
the same amount each month. Of course, you still
need to keep an eye on your usage and continue
to conserve. |
