Why PG&E Bills Keep Rising

QHS Marketing • October 15, 2025

Have you noticed your electric bill creeping higher every month — even though you haven’t changed a thing in your home? You’re not alone. Across California, thousands of families are asking the same question: “Why does my PG&E bill keep going up?” Let’s break down what’s really happening — and what you can do to finally take back control of your power.

PG&E Rate Increases: What’s Really Happening

Rising Electricity Costs in California

PG&E has raised rates several times over the past few years, and it’s hitting homeowners hard. In fact, according to state data, PG&E customers are paying over 40% more today than they did just five years ago.

Paying More for the Same Energy

What’s worse — many people are using less energy but paying more for it. A bill that used to be around $120 a month can now easily top $200 or even $300, depending on the season. And with new rate adjustments coming almost every year, there’s no end in sight.

Why the Utility Rate Hikes Keep Coming

Infrastructure and Maintenance Costs

PG&E often says rate hikes are necessary to cover “grid maintenance” and “wildfire prevention.” But here’s the truth most homeowners don’t realize: When the company faces costs, damages, or penalties, those costs are passed straight to customers.

Hidden Fees Passed to Homeowners

So, whether it’s infrastructure upgrades, corporate fines, or executive pay, you’re the one paying for it. And since PG&E is the main utility for most of the Central Valley, homeowners have felt trapped — stuck with no real choice.

The Growing Frustration for California Homeowners

Bills That Keep Climbing Without Warning

Opening that monthly bill shouldn’t feel like a punch to the gut. But lately, that’s exactly how it feels.


It’s not just about higher numbers on the page — it’s about 
losing control. When your bill jumps without warning, there’s no way to plan for it. It’s unpredictable, stressful, and unfair.

And with rising costs in every area of life — groceries, gas, insurance — paying the electric bill has become unbearable for many families.

You Actually Can Choose Who Powers Your Home

Homeowners Have Options Today

For decades, most Californians have relied on PG&E because it was the only name they knew. But that’s changing — fast.


Today, homeowners have 
a choice. You can decide who provides your power. You can choose to work with a local energy provider that gives you stability, predictability, and the personal service you deserve.


Instead of paying endlessly rising rates to PG&E, more homeowners are turning to 
Quality Home Services Solar — a trusted Central Valley company that’s been helping families for over 40 years.
