That is gas included arses

mdiver said:

Still...that is A LOT! The most I paid in the heat of the summer in Florida was $200 and that was just for a few months tops.
You just won't admit that they rob you here.

shanti0608 said:

Yeah but as high as it is you can have as much dick as you want gotta be worth the move

mdiver said:

ummm there was plenty of that in Florida.

shanti0608 said:

shanti0608 said:

You guys should move here .

To me too

Rhondab said:

Me, too. We have good insulation, too, compared to some places I've lived.

about $156, winter isn't bad for me.

I'm in a small apt so it's cheap, but I've never paid over $42

& it's usually only $23 but I warm up the bathroom more in winter

I'm kinda weird - I don't need my place to be toasty all the time. When I feel cold my first instinct is to put on a sweatshirt

Damn, I'm cheaper than I thought

I make them keep the lights OFF, keep the refrigerator door closed!!!!!


and keeping the tv on actually uses less electricity in the long run.....



oh and don't run in and out the house!!! we can't heat the entire neighborhood! !

I live in a 5 bedroom 2 story house and use fuel oil 2 heat the house and the water,I just purchased 150 gallons and that was $436.00 dollars.Which will last about 45 days ! Needless 2 say that I can not get assistance because I make 2 much a year.Also there is no baseboards upstairs,so the only heat is by using space heaters,so the electric bill is about $90.00 a month! So fuck that the upstairs is not used alot in the winter ! I live in and old plank board farm house in North East Pennslyvannia so needless 2 say the winters here are cold,2 day we saw a high of 19 degrees.Then come summer I use 2 window air conditioners and that works pretty good,plus on nice brezzy days I crack the windows open ! All I know is that the cost of keeping warm is totally out of control here in the US ! Its all about the big shot oil companies getting rich and fucken us !

Yeah, I have that in NYC, too. $79/month for electric & gas all year round for a one bedroom. Heat is included in rent.

But I just moved to a new apartment and ConEd can't do the budget thing until I've lived here for 12 months. So the first month was $29 and last month was $49 (not sure why it went up so much!). I'm gonna get killed in the summer, though, because I hate heat/humidity and will leave the ac on while I am at work because I have to have my apartment cool when I come home. I'm sure it will easily be $100/month then.

oh yeah, i guess it doesn't help that i have:

4 exterior doors inside the apt (not counting the main front door)
19 windows

and a skylight

i'm sure the heat is just walking outta here

Let me see... 10 people in the house... Me, Mon, Ta, Noum, Uan, Nee, Game, New, Mae and Phaw... last month's electricity bill was 1,800 baht, which is about $55. Not too bad really considering we run an air-conditioner, 4 TVs, 3 fridges, 2 computers, countless stereos and DVD players, cable TV, a washing machine, fish tanks, and about 6 or 7 fans. The trouble with having so many people is there is always stuff on, 24/7, 365 days a year, but thankfully it's cheap out here.

During the summer I'd say it goes up to about $70 a month.

I live in a 3 bedroom semi-detached with 2 kids, 4 dogs and a husband -
I pay - wait for it - £78.00 per month for both gas and electricity.

If a company is getting too greedy, I move company and start my payments off low again!

Holy Crap!!!!

I think it's largely becasue your houses are made of paper.

Phil - get some insulation! I just moved to a big old house with drafty windows and doors, poor insulation and all of my utility bills come to under 100 a month. Turn down the heating, turn off lights and put a sweater on!

We are killing the planet man

I keep turning the heat down. It must not be the heat that is running up the bill. We do have a large fish tank but still...seems crazy to me.

shanti0608 said:

Seriously crazy!

You sure the neighbours arn't using your supply? Get your meter checked? Are you gas or electricily heating?

PREDOMINANT said:

It also has alot to do with servers and pc's and systems running all the time

mdiver said:

yep I can relate to that....

PREDOMINANT said:

All I know is he just switched companies when I got here..maybe he switched to the more expensive company?
It is not like this place is huge and we are attached to ppl on one side which should help..right?
I don't get it....

mdiver said:

So it's you leccy bill then?

Makes a bit more sense, but SHIT!

PREDOMINANT said:

Well the thread was heating/electric and i have a combination of gas and electric heating .....

The trace heating in the garage for my babies probably does not help but thoroughbreds need tlc

mdiver said:

Shit SORRY mate!

PREDOMINANT said:

NAh its cool, it is starting to go down anyway because when i switched i maintained my payments of 80 a month on each and now they are gonna drop it they said quite dramatically so i should see the benefit of changing companies.
I am thinking that my beautiful but tree hugging g/f might now make me turn off the heating for my babies though

mdiver said:

I though the g/f was f now

If she does then please be aware that it is nothing to do with me as we haven't been orgnoting, at all.

PREDOMINANT said:

Shit yes of course f....i am so in the dog house now!

Steve are you shit stirring?
