Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And yeah, your energy bills are lower here, but they should be, since it's not snowing and you don't need AC in SF.
Actually, they should be the same since I didn't pay for heat in NY and I didn't have AC until the year I moved.
We're talking stove, fridge, appliances, lights. In a NY 1-bedroom that was about $40-45 a month.
California's cost per kilowatt hour is also lower.
my monthly bill is $13-14 for gas & electric
Looks at $87 monthly bill for electricity alone. Cries.
New York and Connecticut generally have the most expensive rates in the continental United States.
I am super excited that it seems like my utilities are about the same here compared to NYC, and here I'm paying for my own heat and am, so far, home all the time.
I probably average $250 combined for a three bedroom house.
my monthly bill is $13-14 for gas & electric
Hm, looks like my bill used to be around $30ish a month, but it's jumped to $50 recently. Huh. I think that's just the winter increase, though, from using the heater. Last year around this time I had a $70 bill.
We recently replaced the windows with much better ones so I'll be curious to see how summer goes. We've gotten up to $300 during a hot summer month. For quite awhile my wife kept wanting to add insulation, and I had to keep pointing out that there's nothing to add insulation too. We'd have to rebuild the house with 2x6 exterior studs instead of 2x4.
T-shirt war! This is a neat stop-motion video.
Well, obviously any of our findings are anecdotal, but when the Enron bullshit was happening, with its completely unnecessary "brownouts", my PG&E bill went from around $100 (3 bed, 2 bath house where heat was sparingly used) to $350 in one month.
Bear in mind I live in Missouri where we can have 100+ degree days with murderous humidity and still have below zero stretches in the winter. This also explains why the roads suck.
