    Default How much is your electric bill?

    I'm really wondering cause I just got mine yesterday and just about fainted. I live in a 700 sf apartment, keep my ac on auto at about 73 degrees and my bill was two hundred fucking dollars! Am I being screwed? I'm really curious b/c I just moved from a house TWICE this size and my highest light bill ever during the summer was maybe 150, but was usually around 80-90.

    Sounds fucked up. In my old house, our bill was always $100-110. That was an entire house too. And we practically had a laser light show nightly because I am afraid of the dark, the lights were always on.

    It takes alot in the summer to keep it cool, even at 73 degrees. I keep my house at 69-71 year round and in may it was 69 daily, my bill was 140., then in june and july b/c it's soooo hot to keep it at 69 is 350. It's way less about the lights and more the air conditioner.

    ^^It seems like in Tucson the best thing to do is to keep it at 78. I have not gotten a bill referring only to a/c because I switched over from swamp cooling July 11. I am a little scared though.

    Do you also have a gas bill? Did you have a gas bill in the old house? My old house was all electric so the bill was much higher, than my new one where i get gas and electric but combined they are as much as the old.

    mine's about $300/mo for the hottest month (in the 80s and low 90s) for a 2800 sq ft 2-story single family house. I keep it at 73.

    Yep, I had gas at my old house but here it's all electric. But even then, my gas bill was maybe 15 bucks a month. I think I may get my bf to talk to maintenance to check our ac unit and see if it's running right. A 200 light bill in an apartment this size just seems insane to me.

    I fucking sweat my ass off at 78! I can't even put my makeup on because I'm sweating too much. I have had to bring it down to 75 because I just couldn't stand any hotter. Maybe it depends on the side of town you are on; I think HK is further North in Tucson than I am. I am smack dab in the middle and it's hotter than Hades....I LOVE going to work because it's near OV and it's cooler up there. I'm thinking it's cause it's in the bottom valley and lower elevation.
    I live in around 700 sq ft +/-, and we keep it to 75 and it was $120 last month

    I haven't heard the term "swamp cooling" in forever!

    We have a 3 BR ranch house and the AC is ALWAYS on..esp in summer when it's Africa hot and humid here. We average about $250-$300 a month in electric bills. We try to keep lights and all shut off when we arent using them, but the AC is a MUST when its brutally hot out....I cant sleep or breathe when its hot.

    We have a 2800 sq foot, 2 story house. Our most recent bill was just over $240 for both electric and gas combined and that was even with using moderate energy conservation tactics. High temps here have been in the 90's for the last several weeks.

    I'm doing an automatic debit thing with my electricity company.

    Once a fortnight, they take $30 out of my account and credit that towards my quarterly bill so by the time the bill comes around... it's either in credit (yay!) or only $40 .. I have not paid any higher than that on my quarterly bill in ages. Usually its actually only $20 or along those lines.

    Did it for my last place I lived within (a unit) and now for my current place (a townhouse).

    ^^That's only about $35 USD, that's cheap! Or do you mean you might have to pay an additional $40 after the $30?

    Last month mine was $123.00 for water, sewer and electric. I live in a 2000 sq. ft. home, but don't use much in the way of heat/ AC in this part of the world. Oh, and my house is 100% electric (no gas or heating oil etc). The high today, Aug. 5 2008, should top somewhere around 85 F. It will likely get down to about 60 F tonight.

    *Have I mentioned how awesome the weather is in Oregon?

    I have about a 1200 square foot place, but it is old so I think it sort of leaks heat and AC out the windows...in months when I am not using the air or the heat, my bill is about 120. In months when the air is on, the bill is probably about 160 (and we only keep it on 77-78BTW) Now in winter...ugh...we use a TON of gas to heat the place up to 74 degrees, I'm always cold and I really can't deal with less than that...it's about 250-300

    i live in an 800ish sq ft apt. its typically around 140. i keep it warmer in the day but at night i can't sleep unless i turn it down to 70. (my tempurpedic bed holds heat) i also sleep with the tv and a lamp on. i live on the top, too, so my thermostat always reads warmer than what i have it set on, bc heat rises.

    That sounds really high, definately check that out. I pay between $20-30 a month for my (about) 700sq ft apt.
