Just got our electric bill today

[loulizlee]

I was reading today that February is expected to be colder than usual, too.  We have all-electric and keep the thermostat on 68, but our bill is much higher than ones I've seen listed here.  We used to have budget billing, and I think we will try that again.

I was considering budget billing but we just moved into an apartment and I have to wait awhile they said.   Living in the deep south the electric bills are high during the summer usually not so bad during the winter but, this winter they are higher since we seem to be freezing every month.   Very crazy here.

The electric bill has steadily increased over the past few months. I dread receiving bills.

My electric bill in the winter is always expensive.  It usually runs between the high $300's to the low $400's my tailor needs a lot of weatherizing.  My floors need to be replaced and new skirting and insulation put under the floor the ducks and chicken have pulled it out.

Ours went down about $20, I'm hoping to get it down even more.

Our electric bill was almost $100 more than it usually is in January. We just got it yesterday. I couldn't believe it. But my husband said it's because the heat has run a lot more than usual.

my bill isn't too high I try and limit my usage and I always try and turn everything off when not using.

I wish FC could pay my utility bill too! Especially this winter. The bill is so high.

During winter our electric bill is little lower but during the summer it is so high due to a very hot weather and airconditioner doesnt stop running.

Our electric bill is about $90 higher than last month.  Yikes!  Next month will be sky high also because Minnesota has had many days of FRIGID weather and wind chills......

Thank God my electric bill is not that much and I also have it on a level pay plan, so I know exactly how much it will be.

If you don't want to heat the entire house, considering getting a portable heater(s) to heat up only the rooms you're going to be in. Also, you can wear thermals, dress in layers, and buy extra blankets.

We just got our bill the other day also.  I really thought it would be lower since my husband and I don't run the central heat but occasionally use space heaters in various rooms instead.  Of course I'm dressing with several layers as well. Our bill was about $50.00 higher than the previous month.  I must say that I'm a little disappointed.  Maybe space heaters use more electricity than I thought.

We got ours for the month and it was more than our mortgage. boy was I in shock. I know we had a bad season but I didn't expect it to be $150 more than usual.

This winter is kiling our pocket book too!
