Rising energy bills are expected to weigh on Americans this winter

MarketWatch notes that warmer winter weather and energy assistance programs could provide some relief for households facing higher heating and cooling costs.

Expensive utility bills are emerging as a growing strain on American households as winter approaches, with MarketWatch describing how heating and cooling costs are expected to pile up.

The outlet also points to steps some consumers are taking to manage usage, such as running appliances during off peak hours in an effort to reduce costs.

MarketWatch adds that warmer winter conditions and available energy assistance programs could help limit the impact for some households.
