How's your electric bill?

[ Edited ]

Mine was the highest since we've lived in our house, however, it was reasonable considering the heat and our high humidity. We're 100% electric.

@Mindy D - mine is coming today. $220. I live in Atlanta.  One story house, 2100 square feet. No basement. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

It's not as high as last year's. Our water here costs the most out of all of the utility bill (gas/electric/water). Water is like gold here.

@gidgetgh @Will this be your highest bill so far?

About $55.  I have an evaporative cooler which only uses electricity to run a small pump.  It has no compressor.  I also use a little extra water for it.

$400+ 😮😕 Not happy about it, but not surprised given that we've been breaking records for high temps. We keep our thermostats at 78 degrees, but our single story house has been expanded with additions over the years, so it's not efficient to cool. On the other hand, heating expenses are very low in our climate.

Re: How's your electric bill?

We are totally electric. (Heat pump)  Our winter bills are always higher than the summer bills.  It is less expensive to use the AC.  Ours is on non stop all summer longer long.. The bills are not bad at all.

 

We have allergies and very seldom open the windows.

 

On the other hand, the electric bill at our summer place is high.  We haven't been there too much this summer and we do have a refrigerator that stays on, but scheech, the electric bill is high.  It's a different electric co. in a different area.

Under $300.00 which is typical for the summer.  We also have gas and it's more expensive over the winter.

My central air isn't working, sadly the unit needs to be replaced so I'm using a fan...the upside is my bill is under $60.00, the downsize it's 80+ inside. Ugh.
