Chicago area DISers...did you NICOR bill go WAY down?

[FINFAN]

I don't know what to think....we have been keeping the thermostat around 62...and the difference from last months bill to this month is over $200! Our bill this month was only $83...while I am not complaining, I am VERY skeptical! Any one else have this happen?

Yes, it went down $200.00, but our bill said estimate.

My budget payment went down by $65

If using Nicor, here are the per therm rates.................

That, coupled with mild temps, gives lower bills.

hmmmm,
just re-checked our bill and it does not say "estimate" anywhere...nor did the last 3 months....I am just keepiing my fingers crossed that the additional $200 I was expecting doesn't show up nextmonth and I am staring at $500! I didn't want to call, but I think I am going tohave to tomorrow...I just can't rest until I know if this is in error or not.
Thanks for the chart Dan, but this bill would be for use of mid Jan-mid Feb....so rates would still be on the high side.....did your bill go down ?

 

[Ava83]

Ours would have been over 500.00, a happy dance was done when we saw it!

 

[Stitchfans]

Funny. Ours went up. Still just under $200.00 what? are they tacking your bills on to ours?

Woo-hoo! Sure did! Down $112!
