Electric bill going up

Snoopp · ‎02-02-2015

How is everyone doing with their electric bills these days. Mine have gone up about $50.00 per month. Ugh. The useage is not heavy.

Gee I wonder what it will be like as more people buy electric cars and we continue to destroy our fossil fuel capability to actually provide said electricity.

Speaking of electric cars - can you imagine what evacuating prior to Ian would have been like if everyone - or even most of them had electric cars?

Oh wait - if everyone gets an electric car, there won't be any more hurricanes. Right.

@Snoopp Same....going up, and up, and up. etc.

Up up and away - as the song goes. But not in my beautiful balloon.

Actually, I have an electric supply contract and my rate is locked in through 2023. It was good timing as I locked-in before everything started to rise.

Electric cars are still good but hybrids are a better choice for now.

@Snoopp My most recent monthly bill was up just about $5. That's not due to increased fees - just to higher than normal usage. That extra usage came from the A/C running more often even though I have not changed the thermostat!

Power is definitely expensive, but today I have to say I love that FPL didn't have to schedule repairs for our area. I'll be happy to pay my next bill - it could even be a bit down.

This morning was in the low 60's when the previous days and months have been in the low to mid 80's. It feels as if I've gone on a trip to another climate without ever having to pack!

My most recent (for Sept.)was around $40.00. The highest this year so far was in either July or Aug. when the AC was running.Will be waiting to get the first bill ( nat. gas) when turning on the heat.

We just shut off our AC last week, we live in GA. Our last bill was about $100 more. Just saw on the news to expect our cost to be 17% higher than last year.

Our total electric bill from the middle of June to the middle of September, with the A/C running 24/7 was $150.

We pay the same every month because we are on the budget plan. So far no increases but I'm sure they are coming.

@Snoopp @My last bill was 273.00. My daughters was 350.00. We live in CA. I am by myself and have a small house. My hot water is propane and my last fill was 6.65 per gallon. Can't afford solar but I wish I could.
