Here’s a few reasons why your bill might be higher than normal: 

• A full house – you’re at home more often or have extra people in the house like a new baby or family staying
• Change in season – cold/warm weather means you’ve been cranking up the heating or air con 
• Something’s broken – is an appliance faulty or your hot water cylinder leaking?
• A new appliance – you’re the proud owner of a new power-hungry appliance
• Other bill changes – your recent bills have been estimated or cover a longer period than usual
