Is anyone else getting really high

[Brown Eyed Girl 1]

Our average electric bill is about $175/month to run a 3 bedroom house with forced air, pool and a jacuzzi.

However, 2 months ago the bill showed up and it was $306. We were like so we completely cut down on the A/C use, lights, everything. Next month the bill arrived and regardless of using less energy at the house, the bill was even higher at $464!!!

 

Well, A/C stopped working and we couldn't get anyone out to even fix it for over 2-1/2 weeks, and we cut back even more on everything else and the bill comes today and it's $525!

wtf???

Those weekend pill-popping, alcohol-swilling raves you've been throwing for the neighborhood teen-agers is probably chewing up a lot of electricity.

Something sure does sound amiss. I'd call the co. and challenge the bill.

I have a crew of Mexicans who handle the air conditioning and bill paying functions in my house, so I'm afraid I can't be much help. Sorry.

your monthly amount is going down..

 

but since you dont pay your bill, it keeps adding up..

 

next month will be 636 followed by a phone call or 2 and a threatening flicker of the lights...

 

see how that works? good luck to you then!

I have the same problem. California has not done a very good job with their power plants (not enough) in the past 10 years or so, and we are now finally paying the price for it.

Look at your KwH usage patterns. If there isn't a spike, you should look at the "fuel costs".

 

my kwh usage has stayed consistent from last year and my electric has gone up 65%.

Husband said he just called them.

 

They tell him that the rates have been increased by 43% and it is due to the higher cost of gas.

43% - WTF?!?! Did they give you a notice of the increase or anything???

Not that I noticed, but I do tend to throw away all of that extra crap they send along with the bill each month.

Hehe.

 

Yep, it's just us Texans who have built beyond capacity selling power to you eco-nutjobs out in Cali once again at an outrageous price.

 

You better hope we don't need all that electricity here in Tx or we will just turn the switch off on your Prius driving a$$es.

One of the few things that Texor is good for.
