A new record for us, $922.87. (1 month)


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Mine has been $100/mo lately and I'm not even living there. Two milkhouse heaters on lowest setting and a deep freezer in the garage.


Life ain't supposed to be easy.

LOL Get ready for "you need more insulation" "You need new windows" "Your wrong your rate hasn't gone up" I posted my all time high almost a year ago and got 3 pages of what "I" was doing wrong. NOT WHAT DEMS "HAVE" done wrong

Wait until everyone tries charging their electric cars.

Ours was a couple hundred and my mother-in-laws 67 dollars. No, I'm not mistaken, hers is always so low its unbelievable.

Mine at the garage runs in the 90's this time of year to down into the 60's spring and fall when we don't run the a/c or fan on the heater.

Wow.

We're around 130 a month, wood stove helps obviously. We are thinking about putting in solar. The tax benefits here are really good.

Wow!!! electric heat?? I can't fathom an electric bill that high, unless there is other "circumstances" in the bill... other buildings, business, etc... Its been cold at times, but not all the time...

We run as many as 5 freezers at our home for the food shelf when we get meat donated. Our electric bill has gone up considerably.

It's amazing how many stupid people think they are going to save a lot of money with an EV since they don't have to pay these high gas prices anymore.
They don't realize plugging in an EV isn't like plugging in a coffee pot cost wise.

Might want to shut down the grow operation. This is a red flag.

Wife said ours has been around 160.. wood heatand hot water from the outdoor boiler. Lp stove. So 160 to run lights, washer and dryer, 3 freezers one fridge, and pump and blowers for the boiler. People are always home so no stretch when people are away at work and school.


Could reduce bit a little using the line instead of the dryer and if the kids would turn off the lights.

In the summer with the Ac it doubles

24 cents a kWh in middle of the UP, east end of the UP was it was 14 cents a KWh. You can message/email/complain to them, doesn’t do anything of course.

EVs might still be less to run than fuel Rigs but wait until they get the milage tax on them to make up for lost fuel taxes. Might change a few minds when that happens.

We turned off the aerators in our pond to see how much we could save. After six weeks the electric company came and replaced our meter. Must have though our meter broke or we were stealing grom them. Our bill went down 60 a month.
