I'm wondering what everyone else is paying for electricity. I understand that its been summer in my neck of the woods, but my bill has jumped from an average of 90 dollars a month to 317 dollars? The only thing on during the day are the fish tanks and equipment, and my reptiles' heat lamps. What is everyone else paying?

My electric and HW bill this month was $105. 3 bedroom flat with 1 20gl tank and an air conditioner. (random fans... etc). Not too shabby!!

we will have electric heat in our apartment this winter, but our summer bill has avereged around $40...

72 gallon bowfront:Tanganyikan Lake set up
75 gallon: A. Baenschi trio,Cyanotilapia Afra Cobwe(4), copadichromis trewavase, protomelas sp. tangerine tiger(breeding pair)

Mine was $24 last month...just got this months in the mail yesterday ( yippie).

I'm very aware about my electricity usage. Run what I need for the tanks but I keep in mind my heating habits in winter and don't keep fish that can't handle a range of temps.

$125ish usually...I'm gonna have to start paying a big chunk of it when I get my server running

Well, this time last year my bill was running about $125 there abouts...this last bill came and it is $167 and some change I know I keep the a/c set to 70* there abouts, heck i'm sweating to and from work right now ]:| a/c in truck seems to have bit the dust in the last bit of fits And if I'm too warm there is no sleeping possible...so 70* is about as "warm" as I can keep it and still get any sleepmaybe a degree or two warmer, but why have a seriously crabby teacher so yes, it's gone up...

A buddy of mine's was running $175-$200 last summer, this summeruh her last bill she told me was closer to $600, gotta love Reliant Energy here in Houston]:|probably the reason I gave them up

I am paying $90 a month for a 2 bedroom apt. But I am running 8 tanks, dishwasher, washer & dryer and have to pay for the hot water.

If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

Around $180-$200 a quarter, plus gas for the stove, oven and hot water, but that's usually only about $30 a quarter. Surprisingly little, especially for winter - i definitely expected it to be more what with the tank heater on and the air con heater on a lot of the time.

Down a dollar ...last month was $23 for 160KWH...

Pretty much the only thing that ran was the tanks and the fridge :%)

This month is likely to be more...iv'e been watching more DVD's than is healthy .

Our worst this year was for July, a bit over $200. The bill says it was an actual reading and 'KWH Used 1952'.

We have a 3 bedroom apartment on the top floor but the big problem is all of our windows face SW and the window coverings are garbage ]:|

I have 9 tanks running, ranging in size from 2.5g to 75g. Because of the air temp I've noticed the heaters haven't been on, so it's just filters, lights, and air pumps on a couple.

During the day the tv isn't on, I just don't watch it. I shut lights off when I leave a room and actually use candles more often than lights, simply because I like them better.

I guess for us it will balance out because heat here is gas and that's included in our rent.
