Electric bill went up DARN
« on: June 16, 2018, 08:35:53 am »
My electric bill e-mail just came into my e-mail and it went up $35.00 wow I wasn't expecting that and I am sure not happy about it.  Oh well I don't know why because we haven't changed our thermostat and aren't doing anything different that I know of but it has been humid so maybe the electric has run more.  We don't even cook other than breakfast.  Oh well there goes my FC cash out lol.

Unfortunately just when you think you've got a bill figured into your budget   it goes up and throws you all off track. :(

You know I hate the summer months cause the air will be running non stop.  So hot that you have to keep on all summer.  Bills get high.

We're all electric and bills go up and down depending on the heat and the cold.  Once in a while we lucky with weather that needs for heat or air conditioning.  Rare, though.

I dread the summer months for that reason. I expect my bills to be higher this time of year.

:monkey:  :)  :monkey: Electric bills will go up or down, depending on how much air conditioning you use or heating. I would think the summer you would spend a bit more do to the heat, but some spend less.  :-\  :monkey:  :)  :monkey:

My electric bill runs anywhere between $150 to $250 a month.  Total electric house, have well water which means electric pumps everytime you turn on water or flush.  I have COPD so I must have the air on all the time.   :(

All of our utilities are supposed to go up 3% because of a new school tax going into effect.  We just had a sizable price increase from the electric company.  >:(
Have a wonderful day!
