I have to say it has helped. I identified things that were major cause and mitigated when they turn on.
One question would be: DO YOU HAVE HEAT PUMPS?
Heat pumps use a ton of electricity. Even if they are paired with a gas furnace. And with the cold that dipped down into single digits, the heat pumps were very inefficient. Probably using a ton of electricity and not giving off much heat.
My gas furnace allows me to shut them off. Which I did when it was super cold (highs in 20s or lower).
