how long do you have to wait until you can do the "budget billing"? I am guessing a year so that they have something to go off of....

$125 monthly for our house, equal billing (for the first 11 months....with the 12th being our reconciliation month).
We have a small bungalow (about 1200 square feet) with a full finished basement. Central air conditioning, and an electric fireplace insert in our basement rec room. Gas heat, and gas heats our hot water ($76 per month equal billing). Family of three.
We have "time of use" pricing for electricity here in Ontario, so we try to do as much as possible (laundry, etc.) during off-peak hours to keep the bill as low as possible. I also hang almost all laundry on the line from April to October to avoid using the dryer.

Geez, prices seem so random!
I guess I shouldn't complain, I think I'd have a stroke if I got a $200 bill! Keep the prices coming, AND tips to lower your bills! I'd love to go all solar, but too $$$$ for me!
-unplugged all appliances that are not being used (we unplug small ones like coffee makers/toasters, etc when not in use) I could start doing that, but I admit I have not.
-turn off all lights if they are not necessary-shut doors to keep heat and/or ac from circulating in places where you are not using it no AC or heat that uses electricityI try and do this, DH is less likely to.
-use eco or low settings on appliances such as the clothes dryer and dishwasher (or better yet, hang your clothes to dry if you can)I only use the dryer in the event of prolonged rain. Outside line in the summer and inside racks by fire in winter
-use cold water setting on your washing machine when possible Never wash in anything but cold
-install a programmable thermostat for your heat and a/c if you don't already have one No thermostat pf any kind to program
