Electricity Bills Heat of Summer Post them Up

[TCHB]

I just got the highest bill of the year at $202. This is actually the highest bill we have received since moving to Havasu.

 

[BHC Vic]

The highest before solar was over 600. With solar it's like 2 bucks

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Mine is on pace.for over $300.....yup, it's been hot. :cool

That's pretty good w pool and ac

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

That's pretty good w pool and ac

I babysit the fuck out of it. It will probably end up being 350ish. A/c is working much better now. Had Dynamic come out for some work. :thumbsup It's the nights not cooling down that has been killing it. I can keep it under 300 if the night get cooler. I hate when I have to run the a/c all night. :grumble:

W the nanny and kids home all day the ac hasnt been off in a while [emoji16]I think the pool guy runs the pump like 6 hours too maybe even 8. Solar should pay itself off fast [emoji12]

 

[Wadernation]

no kids + no wife + no AC = $48.00 a month. pros and cons. also, the inside of my house yesterday after work was 91 degrees. Maybe il get AC... next year

 

[Bobby V]

$90 Havasu $130 Yorba Linda

 

[TPC]

1000 Sq ft Crankshaft Manor with a 3 ton split system = $124.

 

[BasilHayden]

What electric bill?

btw at 350 you should give me a call, that's home run territory there.

 

[SummitKarl]

$189 last month, 30yr old system for 1350sqft a/c set to 80*
used less electricity then last year but paid more :thumbsdown

 

[Finally made it]

Just got the highest bill ever in Havasu. $250.00. AC on in small house garage and pool. Highest before was around 150. Talked to a few people that we know and they said theirs went up about 100 this month. Been here for 3 years full time now and still don't complain about cost of being comfortable. Still telling people that Havasu is closed and Parker is open. ha ha ha

 

[TLAW719]

Last months bill was just under $200. This month is looking to be the same. Everything in the house is electric. Been running the ac at 82-86 for the main house and a small ac in my room at night. I need to have my main ac looked at and serviced.

 

[Flying_Lavey]

PG&E didn't use lube for this past month. It's $560.

Old manufactured home in direct sunlight all day with a 2 year old and newborn home all day with mom..... now I know why I'm broke.

 

[Rotten deal]

1000 Sq ft Crankshaft Manor with a 3 ton split system = $124.

What is a crankshaft manor?

 

[scouter]

Our most recent bill was $443. But that's for about 6,000 square feet and 4 ac units......

 

[dribble]

2000 sq ft house in Sacramento. 58 bucks.

 

[28Eliminator]

2400 sq ft in La Quinta... $572 [emoji26]

 

[Raffit78]

Our most recent bill was $443. But that's for about 6,000 square feet and 4 ac units......

Wow! I'm at 2000 sq ft summer average is 400 easy. (Conservative)
Pool and 1 ac unit.

 

[scouter]

You're probably somewhere in California, right?

I am in Arizona....

 

[Raffit78]

[emoji20][emoji20][emoji20][emoji20]

California is better they said, you have "everything" here they said.... Well I definitely have higher utility bills.

 

[NotWorking]

$170, Huntington Beach, 1540 sqft, waiting for the pool to come online this week... The kids don't know how to turn off a switch of any kind while they are home during the summer!
Then back to Andy @ Palomar Solar... I am just waiting to see how crazy the additional pool cost is, I want to pretty much kill my bill but might be a little lacking on the number of panels I can fit...

 

[UltraLucky]

Just got the bill yesterday. $690:eek Two story split system, pool pump at 6 hours and Masons doing flagstone work running saws past four weeks.

 

[Rsqfxr]

The highest before solar was over 600. With solar it's like 2 bucks

Dam i need to get with the program, I'm pushing $600 with pool and 2 ac units

 

[socal0487]

Previous homeowner installed solar. Rather large system. Just got our first statement. Edison owes us 100 dollars.

 

[RiverDave]

we are on the monthly average plan meaning they average it for the year and send us the same bill every month. Its over 400.00 a month now, and we cant figure out why its gone up so much since we moved in.

That's about what the solar system is monthly

 

[BasilHayden]

2000 sq ft house in Sacramento. 58 bucks.

You know some people turn on the lights at night right? :yikes

58 a month is so low its crazy. The average we see every day is closer to 250, looking at a guy close to 1k a month right now. We are the opposite of the average solar contractor, whose average system sold is 14 panels on a lease, last year our average was 38 panels or 11.4kw and 0 leases. Just installed a 70 panel job in Fallbrook, 22.4 kw, he likes AC.

Those of you in SCE territory that have been on the fence, its time to move before you lose the current Net Metering. The new agreement already happened in SDGE and costs our average customer an additional $25 a month, we call it the procrastination tax.

get in touch at www.palomarsolar.com and make sure you say RDP to get my attention and the good guy price. I will personally review every proposal to a RDP referral, I wish I could still do that for every customer, but these days I only see the problem deals. My team does a great job with the cookie cutters.

 

[mjc]

I hope all you people that have SCE are aligned up for A/C cycling it does save money and I have never had mine triggered off in 20 years.

 

[riverrat4lfe]

They been cycling them for the past 2weeks between 4pm-8pm

 

[530RL]

June, July and August are all between 1,000 and 1,200 bucks depending upon if wife is in town or out of town. :eek

Water bill is 600 in the summer months.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Haven't got a bill yet for the new house so anxious to see what it is since we don't have solar any more and it seems like my upstairs A/C is always running :grumble:

I am estimating that it will be about $240 - $260

We are looking at paying cash for a few panels with battery back up. It isn't going to completely eliminate the bill by any means, but it will help bring us down into a lower tier. Plus with the battery back up then we can still have power if it ever goes out which is a really nice peace of mind.

 

[HavasuHank]

My most recent bill was $218. The upstairs is always on. Not necessarily running, but switched on. Downstairs is rare that it gets turned. We have a nice tower fan that puts out a good amount of air.

Our A/C has been cycled off quite a bit already this year. In years prior ... not so much.

We are now turning the air off when no one is upstairs, but will turn it on about an hour before my daughter takes a nap, and about an hour and change before bedtime.

If I work nights, that fucker stays on until I wake up [emoji1]

 

[Duck'ed_Up]

Air set at 76 $91 can't complain. My cable, phone, Internet is the bill is shake my head at just under $350

 

[Done-it-again]

$220 was the highest I just received on 2800sq with split system set at 78deg (up/down stairs) no pool, wife at home with twin 4yr olds.

 

[Ziggy]

Havasu house is $200 this month. $75 more than last month.
House and garage ac and a pool. Occupied only about half of the month.

In Huntington Beach the pool will drive you the Tier Rate quickly. Hold On.

 

[jones performance]

my house in upland, 1080 sqft built in 52. ac is set at 69* all the time. just got bill today $280.50

 

[Scott E]

1300 sq ft townhouse in La Verne, programmable thermostat upstairs that is set at 80 during the day when no one is home. When we go to bed I drop it down to 68 until the next schedule setting which is at 11:55 PM when it switches back to 75. Having the thermostat upstairs keeps the downstairs cool. With the monthly average plan the bill is a constant $94 per month and I usually end up with a credit that covers 1.5 months.

Instead of turning it off, turn the set point up. The energy consumption will be much less.

Joe.....look into the numbers on that (including replacing the batteries every 4 years) and you will likely see that it makes NO financial sense at all.....but then again I would rather pay for a back-up generator at $2500 and always have as much power as I need in a blackout

 

[djunkie]

Just paid it. $231. If my ex was still living here it would be over $400.

 

[COCA COLA COWBOY]

2700SF, Temecula, $300 last month, best money spent. I crank that sumbeesh down to 72 at night and sleep like a baby, keep it at 75 during the day. During the winter it's maybe $50 so if you average it out it's nothing near the cost of solar.

On a side note, every time I go to a friends house or family members that has solar their house is hot as hell. That is all.

 

[Bpracing1127]

Mine was 88 bucks 1000sq ft condo upstairs. Ac set at 72 all day all night, last month was 35 lol I tripled my bill in one month

 

[RiverDave]

its about time you and i sit down and talk Solar on my house out here.. lol.

is there some way to measure where the hell on the electricity is going?

 

[shreve"T"]

$116.00 ON 1980sqft this will be the highest bill of the year.. It has been 85 during the nights up to 105 during the day's here in Louisiana.. Be nice if it wasn't so muggy/humid outside..

 

[TCHB]

The trend for the last 50 years is up and most likely continue. With your family size Solar would make sense.

 

[Englewood]

$600 minimum in the summer. My wife has never turned a light off in her life. "Dark is depressing" are her exact words. So is bankruptcy!

 

[PVHCA]

2400SQ FT single story, set at 78 during the day, shutters slammed shut, fans run 24/7 last month $164.00, projection the same for this month. When Becki gets home at 4ish the air goes to 75 till we go to bed then it's 76. So summer season usually $165.00 per month, rest of the year $75-80.00, pretty good IMO.

My brothers home, 7700sq ft single story, averages $800.00 per month, pool, 2 units and a wine cellar that runs 24/7, he still claims Solar isn't cost effective, no clue how he figures that. May have something to do with area for the panel install.

 

[Havasu Home]

We also do a level pay plan with Unisource. My actual bill last month was $145 and the bill I got showed a credit of $13.
