PSEG raised the rates right after taking over from LIPA (huge surprise 
) . The average bill went up about $25 a month on budget.
This February was brutal as compared to last (last winter was very mild here on LI)
I have an electric HWH ( 2 showers a day, laundry done in cold water) and dryer (try not to use the dryer to much, but sometimes you have to). Propane for cooking.
That fan isn't the culprit.

The EPA and the President had nothing to do with Con Ed's rate increase. Hurricane Sandy had a lot to do with them.
Q. What is Con Edison proposing in its rate case filings?
A. Con Edison is proposing new rates for electric, gas and steam for one year, starting in January 2014. The filings seek an additional $375 million in revenue to run the electric system, which would represent an overall customer bill increase of 3.3 percent; an additional $25 million for gas, resulting in an overall customer bill increase of 1.3 percent; and a decrease of $5 million in revenue for the steam system.
Q. Why is Con Edison proposing new rates?
A. The electric, steam and gas plans currently in effect are due to expire in 2013. The proposed rate plans call for investments to protect critical equipment from major storms. We have an obligation to invest in our systems so that we can continue to provide safe, reliable service to customers.
Q. Will the rate cases cover the entire cost of building storm protection into Con Edison’s infrastructure?
A. Our filings call for $1 billion in investments through 2016. Those investments could be funded partly by federal money and/or money from other sources. The investments would cover projects such as reconfiguring some electrical networks to separate flood areas from non-flood areas; placing submersible equipment in flood-prone areas; and strategically placing some overhead lines underground.
Sounds like this horse has been beaten enough and the OP has left the room.
