During extreme weather it is likely you are using more heat or air-conditioning. Both of these increase your energy consumption because systems need to work harder just to keep up. Even for customers who don't use the A/C, motors and fans may run more frequently.

The use of a space heater may also have a significant impact on power usage.

Faulty, old, or inefficient appliance may also increase your usage. Check your appliances Energy Star rating to help determine the impact to your electric bill.
