About $100/month for a 4 bedroom, 2200 sq ft house built in 1994.

 

[DeadByDawn]

~ $50 - $60, 2100 sq ft house, 3 people living there.

My last power bill was $147 - I live in a 3 year old Townhouse, 1200sf. When I was living by myself, it would creep to around $100 this time, because I usually switch the heat on at this time (coldest months for FL) - this year is different, because my sister is living here rent free, and no financial responsibility means she will leave every light on in the house whenever she see fit. :thumbsdown:

Also - my house uses electricity for everything, water heater, and heat.

 

[tfinch2]

$60 month (includes sewage).

1 bd/1 bath 700 sq ft apartment

Never use the AC/heater, computer is on 24/7, TV is on about 12 hours a day, use dish washer every other day, wash about 3 loads of laundry a week.

 

[apex32]

~$50-$60. 2100 sq ft. 3 People, stuff seems to always be on.

 

[apex32]

Wow $147, that hurts the bottom line

 

[FoBoT]

4 bedroom house, 5 years old, well insulated
ground source heat pump, electric water heater, all electric appliances

varies from $130 when no heating/cooling is needed, like april/may october/november up to $250 in the summer, when it stays 95F+ for a few weeks, so july/august are usually over $225

heating is less, even the coldest january/february it only get up to $200 at the most

 

[Scarpozzi]

$120-160/mo

1500 sq foot.

This is for a 1200 sq foot home with a 300 sq foot apartment. 2 Full sized refridgerators, and separate heating/cooling units. House heat is on Gas and both units have gas ranges.

 

[child of wonder]

$80/mo in the winter and $130 in the summer

1800+ sq foot house, new construction, great insulation. About $20/mo of that is from computers and networking stuff running 24/7.

 

[vi edit]

Average of $150 a month (electric & gas). Rates go up 55% this year so I'm looking at $225+ a month. House was built in mid 70's with original no-efficiency windows.

2100 sq/ft home. Heat is set at 70 in winter, 72 in summer. Central IL. So hot muggy summers, cold ass winters.

 

[ElFenix]

summer: ~$250 or so
winter or any other time with pleasant weather: ~$50

1500 sq foot apartment facing south on the top floor. houston texas has some of the highest electric rates in the country.

[waggy]

about $50 in the winter and $70 in the summer

thats for a 2000 sq/ft home.
gas heat/cooking/water heat/wood burning stove helps.


NOW the amount of gas we use is a lot. we are on a payment of $130 a month for propane use ($1.57 a gallon. just switched company's. we were paying $2.95 a gallon) but we have a $500 credit right now.


edit: fixed something i goofed up on ok! sheesh.

 

[mzkhadir]

about 35-37 dollars a month, last month, I bought a dlp tv, bought a kenwood receiver, speakers and xbox 360. So by the end of this month, it should be up to 50-60 bucks plus the 20% rate hike.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

Used to be about $100 a month for a 1300 sq ft house.

Then I sold it.

Now I'm homeless.

But I got that fat check.

[cyclistca]

15 -> 20 dollars a month. Everything but water and heating which is central to my condo and part of the management fees. Place is 850 sf.

 

[dullard]

2400 sq ft usable home (I include the basement because I use it fully including heating/AC)

Electric charge: $7.80/month. So subtract $7.80/month from the bill below to see how much energy I use.

Gas charge: ~$15/month and they are raising it by nearly $8/month more if things are approved. Stupid gas water heater. I'll be paying $115 each summer in gas charges (not including the cost of the gas) for a water heater. An electric water heater would cost far less than that for the whole year. I wish it was electric so I could just cancel the natural gas service during the summer and much of spring/fall.

Shown below is the average over the past nearly 3 years.

Month : Electric , $/KWH / Gas Bill
January : $48.26 , $6.00 / $133.88
February : $42.08 , $6.00 / $107.71
March : $40.10 , $6.00 / $109.77
April : $41.29 , $6.00 / $77.42
May : $32.29 , $8.80 / $38.87
June : $65.81 , $8.80 / $26.89
July : $90.56 , $8.80 / $24.91
August : $92.76 , $8.80 / $23.71
September : $77.05 , $8.80 / $20.85
October : $43.32 , $6.00 / $21.58
November : $37.02 , $6.00 / $47.13
December : $47.09 , $6.00 / $97.42
