Are you for real?

Its Winter.

Electric Baseboard Heat.

I already keep my thermostat at 55. Should I freeze out my pipes?

My electric bill was $486.

That's why we are complaining.

They raised the rates 40% this year.

Cause you're using a resistor load as heat. What that means is it's one of the shittiest efficiency rates of heating. Need multiple times the electricity to warm the same sq footage as other means of heating. I understand it sucks cause upfront costs of other systems or simply renting the place.
