| EvenBob Member since: Jul 18, 2010 Threads: 231 Posts: 6397 | I'm very curious about this. My bill averaged for the year runs about $75 a month. More in the winter because the furnace runs all the time and lights are on more. In the summer I only cool the rooms we're using, way cheaper than cooling the whole house. And $25 of that $75 is the access fee and taxes. I'm curious because Michael Bluejay has an article about how to save electricity and he says if you follow his guidelines, you can save $2500 a year on your bill. Thats at 15 cents per KWH. I only pay 7.5 cents, so I could save $1250? My whole bill per year is only $900. I don't doubt his research, I just want to know who (besides Al Gore who's bill is $3000 a month) pays that much for electric that they could save $2500? I don't anybody who does and I know a lot of people.

| RaleighCraps Member since: Feb 20, 2010 Threads: 29 Posts: 601 | I run just under $100 for 6 months of the year, and around $150 for 6 months of the year. Natural gas bill for a 12 month average would be another $70 Always borrow money from a pessimist; They don't expect to get paid back !

| Mosca Member since: Dec 14, 2009 Threads: 74 Posts: 1628 | LOL, electric heat here. All electric: hot water, stove, etc. You don't even wanna guess what it is in the winter. At least we don't care about whole house a/c in the summer, just the bedrooms at night. NO KILL I |

Aren't you on the Greenies top 10 hit list? I'd guess its $400 a month depending on where you live. One casino owner to another: "It would be so much easier if we could just hit them over the head, steal their money, and throw their bodies in the creek." Al Swearengen, Deadwood |

| thecesspit Member since: Apr 19, 2010 Threads: 38 Posts: 3106 | Mine's low as the heat and services are part of the apartment fees, so I have no idea what the heat adds up to year on year. Actually, I could find out by checking the strata accounts.

That pool isn't helping, your meter must be trying to spin into orbit. One casino owner to another: "It would be so much easier if we could just hit them over the head, steal their money, and throw their bodies in the creek." Al Swearengen, Deadwood |
