Welcome to our forum.
This is probably slightly off topic, so Bill feel free to move to BS if you want.I know from time to time we have discussions on what our tubs are running us a month to operate and then some of us then inquire to what the actual rates are that people pay....Anyway, I had a very very high electric bill this month. I called SoCal Edison to inquire about their level pay plan. But the lady told me she didn't think I should do it. Apparently rates are going up again on July 20th and she doesn't think the old $ based avg would come even close to covering it. Our rates here are based on usage and we are always at the 300% of baseline... she told me that this time last year I paid .18 kwh and as of the 20th I will be paying .49 kwh.She wasn't concerned by me having a hot tub and actually said my biggest culprit right now is the extra fridge and extra freezer we have sitting in the (hot) garage.I'm expecting that my August bill that will have the new rate charge on it will cost me over $500/mo. Are any other parts of the country experiencing such dramatic increases in rates?
my biggest culprit right now is the extra fridge and extra freezer we have sitting in the (hot) garage. We don't have any ceiling fans.
The extra fridge is where we keep the soda and the milk, lol.As for ceiling fans... our entire house is vaulted ceilings even the bedrooms, kitchen, etc. We have no attic space to run the wiring.... so we would have to cut into the drywall both in the walls and the ceiling. Not saying it couldn't be done, but it would be a major PITA to do.
My last electric bill was only $83.
