Our house is entirely electric - electric heat, electric appliances etc. The only non-electric item is our hot water, which is propane.Our monthly budget for electric is now $350. It has gone up $200/month in the 2 years we've lived here.
This has to be wrong. The electric company says no. I call today to get us back on the monthly payment plan so we don't get socked when we turn on the heat November 1st. (and yes, I will stand to 11/1 without heat in all the rooms but Daria's and only hers at night).
Yet I call and the meter numbers they have are wrong. The meter registration number is no what they have either. So someone comes out tomorrow or Friday to look at the meter and then its an ENTIRE month before we know what our monthly useage is and only then can we get on the budget plan... and only then can we get an energy audit.
We must have some alien life force sucking all the electricity in this house - I talk to my neighbors and our electric is double what theirs is. I just don't want to get socked with yet ANOTHER $1200 bill in August.
Alas though, its comparable to oil prices right now...
