So I've been waiting for our electricity bill from last quarter, logged into their online system tonight and they've finally updated it.... and it is over $900
It was over $1000 but we had a bit of credit left from an overpayment on our last bill...but oh wow I am in shock! I was expecting it to be big, but not quite that big...DF has a bit of a "meh" attitude to electricity usage so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. And since I've been a SAHM the tv has been on a lot more than it used to. We have energy saver globes in all the lights though and although we have ducted heating/cooling it hasn't been used all that much because we have a wood fire. It's mostly on at night, but think I might start turning it off, even though DF says it uses more turning it on and off all the time...but if it isn't on then it isn't using anything which is my opinion!
it makes me feel sick looking at a bill like that! I had a look at their charting and our usage has almost doubled...we are in a bigger house but we only have us and Hayley. I know they keep jacking prices up, but our bills seem to be growing exponentially. Candles and kero lamps anyone?!
Tinks- our last bill was a bit over $600, but I don't think we had the ducted running at all because the house stays really cool in summer without air conditioning (that was for Feb-April)
Our bill was $530 this time! Ouch! But we do use the reverse cycle air con every night so im really not supprised!
I know ppl who have 1300 - 1500 bills a qtr! wtf!!
Ours have been over $600 a quater lately. Not looking forward to the next one, since we've been using a heater & fire.
But we have our hot water heating twice a day, so I know exactly where ours is going.
I wish I was seeing things...YIKES!
