372 but it was two months at once.

Damn bro, ours rarely gets over $90

I figure even with the cost of wood for the stove in winter added in our utility bill would not top $300 ever.

Two ACs, a pool, and a month straight of triple digits will do it. Come on Texas baws, I know someone can beat it.

LOL... just wait...

A $700 electric bill in a few years... will be like $0.99 gas was in the past.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

2770 sq ft. Run the AC at 75. 20k gallon Pool with new variable speed pump. House built in 2002, had spray foam added to the attic, I believe my plan is 12.2 KW Hour, gas dryer, gas stove.

Slightly over $400.00 the last three in a row so you are definitely winning so far!

404 to be precise.

Ours was $400 last month. That's with an extraordinarily hot, humid summer, boys home. When we lived up north and had a solar array on our garage roof, it was usually just the monthly (less than) $20.00 for being hooked up to the grid.

I'd be in a pretty foul mood if I saw a $700 utility bill. Mine is bad enough as it is well below that.

Doing the spray foam deal. 3" in walls and 2" on roof of the new house. Full encapsulation.

A buddy just built one and only did walls with blown in insulation in ceilings. No spray on roof. He said he was at $120 last month.

The spray foam is expensive on the front side for sure but if I can stay under $150 a month I will be happy.

AC runs all the time in the summer, set at 66-68. I average 105 a month in the summer - electric/gas combined. When daily highs are the 60's and HVAC isn't running at all - I'm around 40 for that month or so.

My largest bill in any 1 month over the last 8 years I've been here was 117.00 - gas/electric.

Just watch going too encapsulated if you have humidity of any significance. I had to keep my ridge vent and soffit vents open because I live in a swamp pretty much.

Full encapsulation. No soffit, ridge or gable vents. Putting in an air exchanger.

50-90% humidity around here.

Shoot, my buddy just got a 1100 dollar water bill, his single neighbor a 900 water bill, mine was 250. They installed some new meters called Master Meters, everyone is getting hammered. My water bill had never been over 40 bucks before.

I've got 2 two ton units and one 5 ton. Run them at 78 during the day and cut it down to 72 at night. About 350 a month right now.

Old meters let a lot of water slip by.

Around here the water isn't the bad part. It's the sanitary sewer fee that we pay for the treatment plant.

$1202.00 last month for my shop. 10 000sq/ft with A/C set to 78 degrees during business hours only. Converting from florescent lighting to LED cut about $300.00 off our monthly bill, so that would have been about $1500.00. Still not bad considering the shop door opens and closes probably 50 times a day, or more.

House, I have no idea. That's the wife's department.
