Gas Bills….

[Meaney77]

You may want to sit down before you open it

 

[Dan Lorenze]

I just got the email today....

 

[monkeyswrench]

Natural gas go up a lot? We're on propane, and it didn't shoot up near as much as I would have thought this year.

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

Ours already went up

 

[Get415]

WTF!!! 2 1/2 times higher than my normal bill

 

[Desert Whaler]

Got it today.
$67.00 last month . . . $157.00 this month.
And California just keeps getting better don't it?

 

[lbhsbz]

Just opened mine...(I was sitting down). $175 to heat a 1400sq/ft house. Fuck me.

Pretty close to ours, last month was 72.00 the this month was 177.00

 

[attitude]

$297 for me this month, didn’t even come with lube..

 

[JFMFG]

$120 bucks to heat a 2800 sqft house heater set to 70 day and night. I have 2 little ones. One is 11 months other is 2 1/2. Before kids the heater would never even be a thought. Now it’s a must.

 

[monkeyswrench]

F' me! We've had snow on the ground off and on, and not the best insulation. Pellet stove for heat runs a bag to 1 ¹/² bags every 2 days...5.25 a bag. Would a heat pump be cheaper to run out there? Or is the electric out of hand as well?

 

[Desert Whaler]

I may start shoveling all the shit that's washed up on the beach from the storms and start burning it in the fireplace!

Yup, ours is 1436sqft and 177.00 set at 70° at night and 72° during the day when someone is home. I stripped all the drywall off the exterior walls 16 years ago and insulated the walls, we saw a 30ish% reduction in our gas bill, we would be seeing a 230.00 bill right now if I hadn't done that.


To add we also did windows at that time

Electricity is out of hand as well

There was sand in it though

 

[Joe mama]

$153 for me.

 

[Cray Paper]

My home is 2200sq', December 2022 bill is 170.00, 40.00 higher than the same time last year, and almost double what it was in 2020. My home uses NG for furnace / Fireplace heat and has electric hot water heater, dryer and oven / stove top.

 

[HTTP404]

Where do y'all live?

Last year this month was more than this year for us.

 

[4Waters]

Ventura County

 

[Brokeboatin221]

Glad I don’t have gas anymore except after lunch. Sce raped me for 420.00 for one month on a 600sq ft house but that was running electric heaters. Since my wood stove has been up that’s been cut in half. Screw all these utility companies!

 

[Kachina26]

Looks like it’s back to wood. They can shove their no burn days up their ass.

Chainsaw, splitting maul, and beer. What could go wrong?

Bonus points for members that can identify stuff that they've sold me in the past year, lol.

 

[riverroyal]

Mine went up 125% more than doubled, same usage.
Utility companies making money since solar on homes cut into the margins.

Criminal.

You watch propane will go up 'just because'

 

[Orange Juice]

I haven’t run the heater in Phoenix so far this year. My July and August Electric bill usually run $450-475.

 

[framer1]

389.00 for me, I thought it would be higher. Next month I heard it was going to double.

 

[TCHB]

Utilities pass directly fuel prices to customers. Good thing is natural gas prices coming down.

Looks like almond.

 

[Wedgy]

24 NG, last month, 244 electric. Panhandle, West Texas. Big bill is coming.

 

[Paradox]

$300 for me in Santa Clarita. $13 this month in Havasu..

 

[sirbob]

Through the roof. I had a number of bills that were $17 $20 $30 in the last week showed up the latest bill $250!

 

[Meaney77]

Its funny watching the local news this morning San Bernardino issued a burn notice- no fires allowed due to high air pollution levels- what the fuck are people supposed to do to warm their houses? After the latest rain how are air pollution levels so high??

I don’t want to turn this into a bash CA thread but god damn….

I love CA but can’t stand the clowns running the county/ state.

 

[Get415]

I like how there was no mention (to my knowledge) by Socal Gas of any price increase until after a cold spell when everyone is using their heaters.

 

[dribble]

Got it today.
$67.00 last month . . . $157.00 this month.
And California just keeps getting better don't it?

They’ve gone up nationwide.

 

[Nickelsndimes]

Lol
A Neighbor that works for Socal Gas sent this to the group chat on Thursday

“Just a heads up for you guys, nat gas is going up 312% from this time last year. Thank you, Biden.”

 

[jetboatperformance]

Next year may be rough , we "pre buy" our propane for a year and I bought 2000 lbs of pellets last year for $295.00

 

[Runs2rch]

Meanwhile the idiots. Damn you Putin!!!!

 

[Meaney77]

Found the problem

 

[NicPaus]

@HOOTER SLED- You get a Yuuuge raise $$$$$$

 

[pronstar]

$300 mostly because of construction openings and lack of insulation.

We have a new heat pump hvac, but the extreme cold meant I was using gas / emergency heat for days on end, with little insulation to keep the heat in.

That should be the last big gas bill we will ever have.

 

[River Dirt 2]

Your natural gas bills to jump ‘shockingly high’ across region, SoCalGas warns

A winter cold snap, California drought and Russia’s war in Ukraine are contributing to huge natural gas bill hikes.

Dude 70 degrees at night. My balls would be melted to my bed sheets.

[Uncle Dave]

Gas is 400 a month up from last year. I live in the Sierra foothills and it's much colder than So cal.

I get about 3 of these bills then it tapers down to below 100 then 50.

2700sqft 2 story, 68f 11pm-5am 70F rest on ground floor.

Gas Furnace, tankless, gas fireplace (run 4-5x a week for 5 hours), dryer

No electric bill per se anymore just connection fee.



Energy in all forms will skyrocket over the next decade.
Of course it's going higher.
The cheap stuff is off the market and there is price contention for whats left.

We could solve the energy problem with Nukes easily, but we're too corrupt and stupid to do nuclear right.
The Canadians do a far better job with it.

@HOOTER SLED- You get a Yuuuge raise $$$$$$

Fuuck no...you know how that works. I have to fight for my bonus...it's called OT. Lol. Record profits year after year...the bonus money is on the darkside that I have no plans on crossing into.

Unfortunately, the only nukes in the news will do a fine job warming us up...

 

[Gramps]

$225 this month with the wood stove burning every morning and night. That includes the shop/garage which I keep at 72.

 

[SoCalDave]

Doesn't the US have one of the largest NG sources in the world?
I'm not buying this Russia shit as I don't think we import NG from them. FJB

 

[SoCalDave]

I guess I'm a little conservative with the TS set at 60 at night and 63 during the day. At 72 I'd be sitting in my chonies..

Im with you.. I set mine at 71.. anything less and I'm freezing!

Yes, but supply is not free, and requires energy to get, store , liquify, and move the energy.

We dont import NG from Russia, but that doenst matter.

What matters is that the global (read European) demand for our product has soared, and you and I have to compete with nations that want the same supply.



It's a simple matter of supply and demand.
