$407.72 electric bill

[zixxer]

WTF


all of the sudden I get a "60 day billing" that is due on the 15th for $400+. WTFWTF.


I'm on the phone right now. I have a townhouse... even at 60 days... $400? It's normally around $160....


on hold... she's checking if my rates somehow 'got' changed

Normally around $160/month?
I have all electric appliances and my bill doesn't exceed $90/month. And the air conditioning has been on for a couple months straight. How can you have a $160/month bill on average?

 

[edro]

You missed the $100 LATE fee!

 

[gsaldivar]

LOL are you growing pot?

 

[SaturnX]

Back in the winter, my house had a $1500 bill... damn electric heating and having a large farmhouse!

Ours was $65 for July and it was pretty much 90+ degrees every day.

 

[Stumps]

meh, if you lived in Australia, that would be a fairly normal bill, normally mine is around $580-600 during winter and $500ish the rest of the year

for 30. that's water, sewage, electric

My last electric bill was $140. I was happy. In our old house, it probably would have been at least $200-220.

What the hell do you people use to generate electricity down there, faberge eggs?

 

[Phoenix15]

Mine averages between $100- $150. I need to turn down my water heateer and watch how much I use the AC. It used to be around $80.

Was it based on an estimated meter reading? Sometimes when they did not get a chance to read the meter, they bill you based on historic usage and when they take the actual reading next time, you'll be credited for the difference.

 

[bonkers325]

someone is stealing your electricity

nah, just lack of competition means higher prices, we generally pay more for everything here, fuel, food, electricity, rego on cars etc, it cost me nearly $1000 just to register my car in june

 

[AdamSnow]

This is why I have my hydro on a budget. The hydro company gives me a solid price to pay each month and I pay that and nothing more...

Sure - I get screwed in the spring and fall... but in the summer I can have my A/C cranked and in the winter my heat cranked and not worry about it at all!

Remember to take into account that electricity costs vary quit a lot from region to region. So just because the bill itself is much higher doesen't necessarily mean they used more electricity than you.

Our electric bill is 175$/mo, and our rate is about $0.08/kWh; cheap.

I pay around $.07/kWh, less if I had interruptible AC, which isn't worth it, IMHO.

That's pretty cheap. My 8 cent figure is after all taxes and fees, so in reality it's a little less.

Some places can be like 14 cents/kWh tho.. yikes.
