Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Got my electric bill today

Our daughter’s gas. Bill roughly doubled from last December’s bill! We didn’t even talk about the electric bill! memtb

Yea let’s plug in more electric cars and hope
Electric hill gets cheaper

We have Claverac REC & I just checked my bill. The rate is: Generation - $0.6155 / kWh, Distribution - $0.03854, Cost of service charge - $33.00.
The cost for the house averages about $115. per month & my hunting cabin with the same REC, 20 miles away has the same kWh & service charge, runs about $33./month. We have a propane boiler & heat pump, but heat with the wood stove in the basement only. Get's 90 to 100 downstairs & makes a good clothes dryer & we open the windows upstairs to cool the house down when it gets too hot.

Everyone wants some of your hard earned money.

Electric bill has not arrive yet but my NG gas bill did!!

Used 8% less compared to last year but bill was 25% higher!!!

Mine runs $400-450 a month.

And we heat mostly with wood. And hang up about 1/2 of our laundry when we can.

Hot tub outside, 2 tandem lectric water heaters, 2 additional barn/shops, dog heater, 2 heat pumps, 7-8 refrigerators and freezers. And about 3700 sq ft of of home for my daughter to leave lights on every dang room.

Natural gas co won’t cross our creekbed unless we contract a $25,000 bedrock bore. Hell with that.

Mine just came in at $165.00 for rural electric.

That's for 3600 square' living space (walkout) and a 750' "bunker" under the garage. The house is ICF construction, with geothermal and we pretty much heat the 1800' upstairs with wood when home. 2 freezers, 2 refrigerators. Whole house is electric, I do have a 500 gallon propane tank, but that's just for the 20KW standby generator.

We're thinking of adding solar next, but $30K buys a chitload of electricity now and the break even point might not add up.

Ours runs 80 bucks a month but we don't think we need to live the life of Riley in a 3000 sq. ft. house. Neither do we give a rats ass about the Joneses and what they might have or think.

I used to be afraid of the dark but now I’m afraid of the light

61c/kWh?

That don’t seem right.

I cringe every time my kids slide a frozen pizza in the oven.

Im like “let that mfer thaw a couple hours first”

Water bill used to run in the $45/$55 range. Local RWD decided they're water wells weren't enough and voted to build a WTP. Bill went up to $65/$75 range.
Decided they needed a rate increase (inflation?)!
Bill now runs in the $85 range.

Electricity is pretty much the same. Runs about $80/$90 a month until summer. Never over $130/month.

Garbage started at $49/month. Went to $65/month. Then to $79/month.
October, rate increase to $122/month! 🤯
Talked them down to $98/month.
Guess I'm gonna hafta go back to burn barrels! 😖👎
Despise a nasty, stinking burn barrel. Around here, you can't just burn garbage any time you want. We have a lot of burn bans out here on the Cross Plains!

Sorry about that. Generation is $0.06155 / kWh

Hey, Gayghosts and Lostinhells and Suckawhore and Houston_2s buds in DC want to have more rolling blackouts and also be able to cut the power off when they wish to make the folks comply.

That makes sense! (cents) 😎
