Whats your electricity bill

All of my utilities are a fixed 5,800 yen which is around 77 dollars. I live in a tiny room in Japan with an attached bathroom. xD

We had a brutal summer this year and my 3rd-floor apartment has no airflow... so even while keeping the thermostat at 80 (Farenheit), my electric bills were $120/month. That's for a very small one-bedroom. But when the temp dropped and I was able to turn off the AC (and haven't yet turned on the heat), my bill dropped to $30.
I'm gonna turn the thermostat to 50 and see how long I can go this winter without turning the heat on. The good news is that I've been losing weight so now I have a bunch of sweaters that are too big for me: good for layering! :laugh:

Although there is an initial cash outlay, insulating an attic space to around R49 will potentially save you 20 - 30% PER MONTH on your electric bill in the summer and your heating bill in the winter. Since the project doesn't cost very much to install, even if the pros do it, you will save enough to recoup what you spent in about 24-36 months. After that time period all the extra savings is like putting that money right into your pocket. You're already spending the money every month, might as well invest it in something that pays you back intead of just throwing that money at the utility companies every month.

As a side bonus, if you end up running your AC and furnace unit 20-30% less often the lifespan will be extended by that amount.

Insulation works by slowing down the heat lost in the winter, and prevents heat gain in the summer. Believe it or not a typical attic on even a 90 degree day can reach 125 - 140 degrees or more. All that heat right above your head percolates down into the living space and makes it hard for the AC to keep the house cool. In the winter the warm air keeping you cozy in your home rises straight up thru the ceiling and is lost into the attic. If you get snow the easiest way to see proof of this is to look at the homes on your block after a snowfall. Houses with the snow melting off the roof are the ones with insufficient insulation. Lots of snow on the roof means the heat is staying inside the home instead of escaping into the attic and melting the snow.

Our summer bills ranged from $237 to $315 ish. We live in southeast Texas, bout a 100 miles east of Houston....we just bought our house in April, so don't know what the winter holds for us yet!

I live in KY and my average is about 150 a month...in the winter time and hot summer months we usually have an average of 250 sometimes even higher!! (

Ours is about $150 a month & we don't have air for the summer (in WI). That is laundry for 9 people, 5 teenage girls who think they need to shower 2x a day.

Up to $300... depending on the weather.. but it's usually hotter than H3ll here!

We have a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house... approximately 1100 square feet. Our electricity bill is around $120 a month. A friend of mine lives in a totally different area and hers is NEVER less than $200 and she doesn't even use her heat or air!!! When she called the company, they told her that where you live makes a huge difference in what you pay.

Our house is about 1600sq ft give a few and here in middle Ga we avg. $200 a month.

This month mine is $73 or $74 (all electric apartment). I live in Washington State and my apartment is 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms and 1,000 square feet. It's going to go a lot highter though now that we're into fall and going into winter. :sad:
