We are just shy of 1,000 sq. ft. and electric is <$200. We have electric baseboard heat (secondary to wood stove) as well as electric water pump and water heater. Internet/phone is our only other utility. No mortgage payment.

4600 sq ft... average $120- 140 a month.

when we first moved in, electricity was running us about 4-450 a month, but we have since augmented city power with our own.
I hope to one day get us off of city power altogether...that work has been shelved for other work( water retention) for the time being , though.

The initial measure should be cost per kwh: ours is about 11 cents.

What should be asked is how much are you being charged per kilowatt hours.

On the Left Coast in the Peoples Republik of California before deregulation and before Democrats started to stick there noses in to something they have no knowledge of, the more kilowatts you used the less it cost. Now today the more you use the more you are charged.

Where I live we are SoCal Edison customers and they have five rate tiers.

I like Clinton feel the pain for those living in Southern California who have all electric homes with no gas to keep warm during the winter. Just last year the liberals now decide when you can and can not use your fireplace or wood burning stove to keep warm during the winter. That log burning in your fireplace could cost you $500 in fines.

The big shocker is just around the corner. The utility companies have been forced to use renewable energy and renewable energy is extremely expensive and people are going to see a huge increase on their electric bills.

Just curious really? We have 2,644 sq ft and our electric bills average $200/month or less year around.

Somewhere between 50 and 70 bucks a month to power 1400 sq ft.

If you're going to go that far then where you live also has a huge impact. Obviously someone on the west coast isn't going to have the same environmental conditions to battle against as someone in the upper or central Midwest.

I can't answer this question really because I just don't know right now. In a month or two I might know how much electricity we use though since they are planning on charging us extra if we go over an established amount for our electricity based on average usage of housing our size.

One-bedroom apartment somewhere around 575 sq ft. I pay about $60 a month.
 
Re: What are your average monthly electic bills? How many square feet to you heat/co

We heat and cool about 3000 square feet. Our electric bill is about $100/month on the budget plan.
 
Re: What are your average monthly electic bills? How many square feet to you heat/co

Electric runs about $70, but the primary winter heat is a wood stove to heat about 1200 sq feet. Fortunately, winters are relatively short down here. Appliances are electric except the clothes dryer, which is propane, that's an additional average of $10 a month. Don't use the heat pump for AC, instead we use ceiling fans and a window AC in the bedroom during the worst of the summer so we can sleep.

In addition to my residence I also own several rental units that are "all utilities paid". So I get a hefty electric bill.

My heater, dryer and stove are gas and run about $30-$70 a month.

ouch who do you work for and why would you want it to be higher...lol

\i don;t heat in the summer....

the roof opens up...

and those electricity bills are a lot higher than years ago for us....and there is an increase of 3% i believe this year due to government screw ups..


i'm thinking of purchasing some solar panels...place them on the garage roof...just to see...
