| | | Hey everyone! Long time no talk...
I was wondering if everyone wouldn't mind sharing with me how much there electric bill was this month.
My husband shit a kitten at the amount of our bill this month but, I am holding tight to my belief that everyone's bill is that high if not higher.
Our bill for the month was $226 and some change.
Thank you for participating! | Re: Electric Bill Survey

| | | This past month it was $517 which is uncharacteristaclly high but we're in the latter stages on this huge addition and with as cold as it's been the new HVAC unit has been running with just an On/Off switch as opposed to with a Thermostat. Now mind you we're not home most days so the guys working here have been running it for warmth, lol, imagine that, that's been nipped in the bud however ... Oh and hey, what's shaking 5 Letters ?

If my bill was $517 I would have shit a kitten! LOL! But understandable with the addition being built and everything.

| | | My heater was having issues for most of the last 3 months so I was pretty much relying on my gas fireplace and I was really shocked to see my bill. Even w/the heater off most of the time the combined bill for gas and heat was 295.00. Actually, I'm sure it would have been much worse if I didn't have my new windows. It's really amazing the difference they make.

It's really amazing the difference they make. We need all new windows so that is next on our list, our current windows are 30 years old and you can just feel the cold seeping in! | | |

| | | I have PPL. Bill was $201 (but I think I have like a $60 credit on it still).
Electric heat, keep the thermostats way down during the day.
Being that the house was redone, new windows, new siding, new walls and insulation (over the old walls and insulation. Dumbarses.)
Will be putting insulation under the house in the spring.
Not as bad as I thought it would be, but it isn't great, either.

But, I did check what the usage was and it was the $226 I overpaid before the holidays so I wouldn't have utility bills to disrupt the cash flow that the nieces and nephews expect.... I will probably continue doing that throughout the year as I can so that my winter bills are not so bad. | | The Following User Says Thank You to Summerrain For This Useful Post: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
