I'm on the budget billing and it keeps changing. I do everything known to man to save energy, including turning lights off when I leave the room, having appliances and such plugged into a power saver to prevent the vampire effect, and on and on. My bill fluctuates quite a bit but it doesn't get much over the $100 range.

I guess I can't complain.  :icon_rr:

Luckily I live in a place where utilities are included. So I can have the heat on all day and not have to worry about my bill.

Mine runs between $125 to $250 a month.  Depends on if I run the AC.  Also, all my ceilings are vaulted and takes more heat/AC.  I also have a well, so every time we use water the pump is on and that's run by electricity.

I have budget billing & it fluctuates monthly too & it seems ridiculous because it went from $160 a month to $200 a month and I do everything too save on energy too.  The house is old and I know there are things out of my control going on with the people living upstairs that is affecting it (busted windows in the basement, basement & front door always wide open---which makes my place cold).....working on moving out.

I really Don't know, I don't have to pay it because the company I work for takes care of it since the business is part of the house. :)

Thankfully, mine is holding steady as I am on the "budget billing" in my home town so it gives me a constant bill each and every month and at the end of the year it gets adjusted down or up whichever it needs.

If you turn on the heater during the winter a lot its definitely going to be over a $100 a month.
