What Does YOUR Electric Bill Look Like?

[AKL_Megs]

On average, what what do you pay each month for electricity?

We just moved into this apartment complex, and the people we have talked to say they pay around $20 a month. I know my parents pay around $45. A woman I work with pays $150 ( who knows what she's doing!)

So out of curiosity, what do you pay?

 

[Blondy876]

We have electric heat and water heater. We are budgeted and pay $240 each month. Should add that this is a 1000 sq. ft. house.

 

[kaw1218]

My last bill was $612.
For a 5000 sq ft house with 6 adults, 2 kids. We have electric everthing, stove, waterheater. And about 1/3 of the house is heated by electric.

 

[jbmom]

We pay around $60/month.

 

[Chuck S]

We are all electric. Current bill is $150, it has been as high as $214

I pay about $150 a month. I am in a 1700 square foot condo and insulated on both sides!!!!!!!!!! I can't imagine being in a house!!!!!! I would LOVE to see an electric bill under $50!

Mine looks like a luxury car payment.

My bill includes, water, power, sewer, and garbage pick up. It usually runs around a $100 a month. My house is a small 2 bedroom, 1 bath house.

Wow! Such high bills!

I have a ~1300 sq ft townhouse and I pay about $65 per month (everything is electric) and I run the heat at night all winter and the a/c at night all summer because I have a VERY hard time sleeping if the temp isn't perfect and it makes for migraines, etc.

I think we better get out of PA! Mine averages $350 @ month.
Elec stove, hot water, dishwasher...also a 24/7 Oxygen machine here.

Mine is exactly the same as almost everyone else's...quite a bit more than I think it ought to be.

 

[dcgrumpy]

Average $150-$175, we have gas heat, stove, dryer and hot water heater so our gas bill is abou tthe same as our electric bill.

We live in South Florida in a highrise that gets the sun from the East. Everything is electric and my bill runs about $180-$250 a month. $250 a month in the summer with the AC and $180 in the winter/spring when the A/C is not working as hard. The AC is ALWAYS on though .... 95% of the time.

I agree DU.... our bills are crazy!!!! Of course now that its warmer, our bill will drop to a low $320 a month

OMG, $20 a month is unheard of in our area!!!!!

We have a 2500sf split foyer...actually 2944sf with the sunroom addition. We only need to heat the top 1500sf as we really don't use the downstairs, DH and I both like it 70*am - 68*pm. We're on a budget plan of $200 mo, but the bills avg. $175-$280 depending on how cold. We had a warm spell, then a freeze, now it's warming up to 75* during days. BTW, we have heat pump and are very satisfed. The people in our area with oil are really taking a hit.

 

[Indianadisneyfan]

My last 2 have been $150 for a 1300sq ft. house with total electric. I live here by myself. Before that it was around $100 I guess someone needed a raise . I just need to buy a wind mill and make my own electric.

 

[momrek06]

We pay $240 a month on a budget with National Grid. I live in MA., the winters can be very cold and the summer very warm. We have forced hot air by oil and central air. 2400 sq ft.

Lucky for me, I've got Allegheny Power. So glad I don't have BG&E because I know they are more expensive!
