☀️ Seasonal Utility Costs

Summer months see higher electricity bills due to air conditioning usage, while winter months require more heating, resulting in higher gas bills for those with gas-powered heating systems. However, since most homes in Indore are electric-only, the fluctuation is more noticeable in electricity costs.
