Your electric bill

So I am awaiting my first full month electric bill. My wife tossed the paper that I had written our starting meter reading so I really don't know what we have used this month. How much is your monthly electric bill?

Monthly KwH usage = unknown
KwH rate = .14
Location = Maryland

I'd just go by the office and ask what your starting read was. They should have it on your account for the space you are in.

At my seasonal site during summer months (AC only on at night), mine runs about $50/month.

Howdy All;

In Mount Pleasant, Ut. I paid $0.16/kWh. The "City" bought most from
Rocky Mtn. pwr and added a small amount that was generated from a small
Hydro plant they owned at the mouth of one of the canyons. My average bill
was $75.00 to $120.00 I had full shade in the Summer ($75.00 avg.), and
the Winters were brutal, with temps down into the -40*F at times ($120.00),
so the inverter ran the battery charger more to run the furnace.
Here in Southern N.M. the Park gets elect. from El Paso elect. we pay what
the Park pays $0.17/kWh. Before I was asked to relocate to another site
last Aug. I did have some shade ... and my monthly was in the neighborhood
of $$75.00 to $85.00 per mo. In the new site, Sun attacks straight
across the back (very large window), then hits the huge window
next to the dinette ... bill became $125.00 to $140.00 and the a/c ran
almost ... continuously trying to keep it at a survivable 85*F.
Sooooo, it all depends on Location, what the price of power is, what you
use, how you use what you use and LOCATION .....

When I had the park model the hottest month was about $70 but we were ther weekends mostly. Does the park bill you or the power company? Who reads the meter? Keep an eye on it if it is the park.

therink, Howdy;

I'm in a geographic zone you are not even close to. During the Summer our
temps. go above 110*F during the months of July and Aug. Without any
sort of shade, so the sun beats on the glass and it gets to be a wee bit
warm in these things...
The bill I pay is what the electric Co. charges the park for my site, all have
there own meters. No way 'round it except to be come a reverse snow
(spit), bird.

Here in BC I did a yearly average and I'm right in the $35.00 a month.
I tend to depend on lp for the hot water as it makes no sense to having the electric keeping it warm 24 hrs a day. Also when it does get to-4 I run the furnace and leave the electric heaters off. AC is a must in the summer and I'm thinking that's where my power consumption is.
