How much is your electric bill usually?

Mine was $178us last month for a 1000 square foot home!! Darn South Carolina summers 😛 In the winter it's usually about $50 (oil heat).
 
$163 last month for a two bedroom apartment. Blame it on a malfunctioning air conditioner and the $.113/kwh Duquesne Electric charges.
 
$200 last month for a 2200 square foot home in the Phoenix area.

Sometimes I think it would be cheaper if we just moved to a new place right on the sun. 😛

Russ,

$22?!! Hate to see your winter bill 😉

bones,

That doesn't sound bad for Phoenix! Maybe I should get my a/c unit checked 😛 It runs non-stop and barely keeps the temp at 75 during the day (the refrigerant was replaced a couple months ago, and the unit is only 7 years old).
 
"Home was $22 last month. Work was $160. Gotta love the Pacific Northwest."

Mine's was around there, got to love the Bay Area 🙂 Now the $350,000 median prices for homes are another story...
 
$114.00 to keep 2,000 S.F. constantly cooled in N. VA. This Summer has been about 5 degrees cooler than normal, so the bill is about $20.00 less each month.
 
bigjon,

Home is the same during the Winter, work goes down. At work I have big windows that face the sun in the afternoon, so the A/C kills me during Summer.

Where you guys live how many houses around you don't have AC? I know that along the peninsula (or coast) I'd say less than 1% of houses have AC, including all the brand new ones. You'd find little use for it when highs hover in the mid 60s during the summer 😀
 
GoldenBear,

In the Phoenix area, A/C is like plumbing. You don't have to ask if the house comes with it. 🙂

200$
i live in a flat in the united arab emirates and my AC is opend 16 hours aday coz its 45 c
but that still too much despite that UAE it an OPIC country
 
I am on an REA COOP and they are robbing the customers blind. My lowest bills in the summer (I'm at 7200' elevation in the mountains so AC is not a problem) are a little over $100. In winter the two worst months will be between $500 and $600. On another thread someone was saying that electrification was the greatest invention of all time. I'm not sure about that, but it sure was the most costly one.
 
An average of $75. That's leaving the air conditioner on 68 degrees 24 hours a day. The weather in southern louisiana is asshorrible so we gotta keep it cool in this 2 bedroom townhouse....
 
Fifty a month this time of year. (electric hot water) One hundred or so come January. No real need for A/C here on the coast of Maine. 🙂
 
That does it, I'm moving North! 😀


Scuba,
I would have figured you'd be running a gas A/C out there in UAE 😉

Russ,
You must use natural gas/propane/oil for heat. We use oil, which cost us about $400 last winter (it was a pretty easy Winter tho, even for South Carolina).

GoldenBear,
My wife is from Vermont, and she doesn't know anybody that has A/C (a few stores do). What I'd give to live there in the summer 😛
 
Averages about $70.00 here for central air in a 3 bedroom house. I don't have to turn it on until around noon and then very very rarely have to run it after about 9:00 p.m.
 
About $18/month $0.05308/kWh. However I'm forced to pay every month
for mosquito spraying and trash service even if I don't have any trash collected. All services are provided by the city and you have no choice about paying these if you get electricity from them.
