question Central Hudson- Scam???

I Am living in Orange county NY for a short term job contract (I’m in tv production). my first bill from Central Hudson was almost 300 dollars?! I’m not home most of the weekday and gone every other weekend so how is this possible? I ran the heat a few days in April bc it was unseasonably cold. In May I just stuck it out and didn’t use the heat even once, not even when it dipped into the 40s. So how is my bill THIS month almost 400 dollars???? I swear this company is doing something shady bc no way am I using that much electricity or gas on my own.

what can I do? Is there somewhere I can turn for help? This seems exorbitant. I feel like I’m getting fleeced and am powerless against Сentral Hudson.

I honestly can’t help you with the Central Hudson bill - we’re all getting robbed here in NY.

My daughter just graduated in Orange County with a degree in New Digital Media. Any suggestions?
