Faark! Elec bill just under $800.
Not buying cheese this week.
And I was shocked at a $90 bill for the last month... But like you, usage consistent with previous years, just that costs have shot up.
Far out I'd die from a heart attack with that kind of bill.
Holy shit! Thats more than double mine and we ran the heater almost every day with basically 0 solar input.
Worth having a look at whats using all your juice. And that your power company is not sticking it to you. Ovo was cheapest last time I looked.
Itβs the old as shit radiator. Consistent usage with last year, but price increase. One of the reasons for needing to move.
I don't understand how your bill can be so high?
How big is your house and how many people in it? What kind of appliances do you have?
Uninsulated 2bed, 2 people. Landlord specials.
Even so....it does seem unreasonably high given the parameters. I wonder if the power company is doing an estimation rather than a proper read.
