If your electricity bill seems like it went up since last year, you’re not crazy. According to a November 2025 report from the National Energy Assistance Directors Association (NEADA), the average residential electric bill is rising at more than double the rate of inflation, with the average bill increasing by 9.6% since 2024. Meanwhile, winter heating is projected to increase those costs by 10.2% this year for families that heat their homes with electricity. There are still steps you can take to keep your heating bill in check. Lock in the heat and lower your bill this year by picking up these five items from Lowe’s.
