The Californer/10233317

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Californer -- Millions of Florida homeowners will begin seeing higher energy bills starting in April of this year. State regulators approved another utility price increase citing Hurricane costs and higher-than-expected natural gas prices last year are cited as the primary cause. This comes after almost two straight years of double-digit rate increases across Florida.

One St. Augustine, FL homeowner has taken matters into her own hands to guard against utility rate hikes by calling Raze Solar and switching to solar power.

Prior to installing a residential solar energy system, this homeowner's monthly bill averaged $205. This homeowner chose to remain connected to the energy grid through a net metering agreement with her utility company and bypass the need for expensive solar batteries.
