PSE overcharging based on “Estimated” usage.

PSE overcharging based on "Estimated" usage.

We haven’t been using our natural gas furnace much this winter since it serves the part of our house under construction. I noticed a still-high Puget Sound Energy bill and realized they’ve been “estimating” usage based on temperature and past use. I called to dispute it and they’re sending someone for a real meter read, but they said they don’t do automatic adjustments. So if they overcharge and later reads make it clear, they don’t issue refunds unless a customer requests. Kind of a crazy practice.
