ATLANTA — There is help for Georgia homeowners struggling to pay their energy bills as the temperatures begin to drop and the cost of heating a home begins to go up. Most homes in the south use electricity for heat. The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts electricity bills will be 12% higher than they were last winter. The forecast also calls for a 28% increase in natural gas bills. Brian Traynor, who owns a firewood business located in east Cobb, Brookhaven, and Buckhead said he's already seen an increase in business as people look for alternative sources of heat that don't involve the thermostat.
