Electric bill was $165. So total for January was $329. Not too bad although way higher than it used to be!

We have 2000 square feet and had the following bills in the last month: $108 for electricity, and $180 for gas. These are the highest bills we have experienced in our 10 years in this home. It wasn't a cold month, and we are conservative with the thermostat, so I'm not sure how we ended up using so much power.

Awe, the frustration that "build back better" and company are causing. Suck it up buttercup, you most likely voted for this if you're on this board. Wasn't it Obama who said utility bills would sky rocket for things to change, oh well.

Suck it up Buttercup Republicans are going to make everything go up 30% try again.

NP. Your anger is misplaced. If it were up to republicans there would be more oil and gas drilling. Oil and gas (and even coal) is cheaper than wind/solar that they keep building all over the place.

Oh, so you are a D claiming Rs don't want to reduce entitlements?

OP here

i called in a gas emergency to WG

the guy came out. no leaks anywhere

he said [b]i've been doing this kind of call all day, there is something wrong with the billing

he said there is no way you are leaking that much gas. 130 therms to 275 therms/mo.

he said youre paying as much as a small school

BS !!!

you mean someone is stealing my money.

he suggested i call the DC public works oversight commision (i cnat remember the real name)
i filed a complaint. it's got to be the meter

thanks for y'all answers. i feel like DCUM is very good sometimes

There is only a loose correlation between house size and energy usage, how the house is constructed is far, far more important.

Not heating rooms doesn't save much energy, it just makes the heat in the adjoining rooms work harder.

OP here. agreed. and my dad is an engineer. when we bought the place last year we walked around doing that and made som changes like weather sealing etc

2000 sq ft house, windows and attic insulation replaced 10 years ago, house kept at 72 constant. My last bill was $190.

Our past two bills have been higher than normal. Around $250 - 275 for a 3,500 sq. ft house.
