We have a 1,200 sq ft home and last month's combined electric and natural gas was $250. I can't fathom 864 sq ft paying four digits for electricity. I've seen a couple of these kinds of posts recently and am curious about what the issue is. Maybe call one of the television stations so that they can investigate - it would make a great news piece.

Honestly when I got this house there was a few fucky things with the meter and how it was setup. I've also had a delay in them giving me the bill for a bit but the bill itself states its for this month. Well i've had a bad time so far anyway with them trying to correct multiple issues.

I guess I didnt expect the heating to be this bad though!

I just looked at our December bill and it's 712 KWH compared to 530 a year ago and 401 for November for $238.21 in charges. We installed an electric water heater in late November so that may have contributed to higher usage. This is for a 1,200 sq ft townhouse. I think that the highest electric bill we've ever had is around $300 but that was many years ago.

Power costs is $0.22566 per KWH for $160.67 and about $0.09 in delivery charges or about $0.32/KWH.
