How much is your electric bill?

Still not sure why it's so low. Someone is home literally 24/7, and no one is careful about our electric consumption. We have electronic devices plugged in and on all day, and two old fridges. I tried to get everyone to be better about it for years but gave up since the bills are so low anyway (in the winter).

I guess those CFL bulbs are a miracle.

Again, no complaints, just surprised. I guess it makes up for all our other bills being insanely high.

How big is your house? Do you heat with electric? Are you in SFH?

Our home: 3,700. Gas heat: $150-$170 in winter. Electric: about the same - not sure why - it is newer home, supposedly energy efficient. Keep at 64 during the day and at night - 68 when we are home. Blame our crappy builder.

6000sq ft. Newer home. Someone home all day, several electronics and multiple family members that never turn off the lights. Keep the thermostat 72 upstairs and 74 downstairs.
Just paid 140 yesterday.

I love the 6,000 Sf posters. They couldn't resist.

2900 sq. ft. 4 bedroom house with lots of drafty windows. Our winter electric bill is $200 or so. We run an electric fireplace in the family room most evenings because its so cold and drafty. We definitely need an energy audit.

I don't run my air or heat all the time; I'd rather open my windows in spring/summer

Do you run a dehumidifier? If we don't run our air in summer everything warps

No I don't

About the same here. Keep kicking myself to get the audit done and improve things for next winter

BS...either that or you're on budget billing.
