Electric bill went up DARN

[tnshpalmer85]

My electric bill went up too, but I expected it to with the hot heat outside and the kids being home. I love to see it low during the winter.

We have AC'S in the windows, But  if we are not in a room we don't  turn it on. the one in the  dinning room is the only one going all the time along with a good box fan. Right now  in the room with computer all I have on is a small room fan that is drawing from the other room. Not real cool but nice. also I only run the  on in the bedroom for about 30 minutes at night to cool it off some and then run the  window fan. Anything to keep the bill down. But the way we do it  seems to work for us.

We started the AC this last month so our bill will go up.

Contact yoour electric company and ask them.  Maybe their rates have changed!

Goes up every summer due to the heatwave because of the a/c on.

I'm thinking about getting solar.  They have deals right now where the monthly payment to pay off the solar is much less than what the electric bill would be.... plus state rebates. So it might be worthwhile.  I am planning to decide if switching to solar is as great as it is made out to be withing the next month.

Mine always go up in the summer. It is usually twice as much as it in in the winter. But living in Florida there really isn't much choice. You just can't live without the AC.

My actual usage went up due to the 90 degree days here but I am a monthly budget and they square it up once a year but during the summer months I send in a little more so the balance at year end is not so big may $40.00 for the entire year.  Last year I receive a credit  of $64.00 because when they send a text to help save electric they want to use less when the demand is high so I don't do laundry or anything that would increase my usage that day then I can get the credit.

Its all about summer air condition raising up them electric bills.  I love summer but hate the price you pay for bill.

Why would an electric bill increase in cost for hotter weather?

Our electric bill was only $108, cheapest it's been so far. Luckily our apartment stays cool without a air conditioner!

Our water bill has gone up 3%, was paying in the $50 plus range, now it's over $75 plus. It's ridiculous. Kinda wishing I was back in the country, gotta pay to use water, it should be free.

You indeed are lucky. My apartment gets stuffy except on bitter cold days or nights!
