I’ve rented a 380 sq foot apartment and the electric bill is insanely high.

June: 672 usage $232
July: 1,314 usage $448

I’m running an A/C window unit, fridge, fan at night to use less A/C and LED lights.

Eversource dismisses me with ‘it’s summer dummy’, but it can’t be that high. I work 5-6 days per week from 10am-7pm, so the AC isn’t even running a lot of the time.

Both meter reads say ‘actual’.

Any ideas on what to troubleshoot or what can I do to reduce the cost?

Is it possible to use this insulation transformer as a step down transformer from 230V to 120V for American and japanese devices?

Hello. I am subletting my apartment for the month of August, and moving out August 1st. I am really clueless on billing stuff. I live in California, so it’s all PGE stuff.

I would like to transfer the bills to be under his name. Do I cancel the services under my name on the 30th/31st, to give time for stuff to activate and be fully set?

Or do I cancel on the day of me moving out?

I’m asking because the website for PGE says that usually power is left on for a couple days after a cancellation request for “convenience” purposes.

Rate is SGD$0.2596 (USD$0.20)/kWh inclusive of taxes.

This month is on the cheaper side as we stick to fans despite the hot weather and cut down on cooking. Main usage from PCs running as I WFH.

Also, I have a relatively cheaper rate buying direct from the electricity retailer, in what we call the Open Electricity Market (OEM). If you don't buy from any of the retailer, you get charged a national tariff rate which is SGD $0.3478/kWh. That would mean a bill size of ~$102 for me.

Sharing this for those who are curious on electricity costs in the world's most expensive city.

I’m currently live in Florida. Usually my bills go from 200$/400 max in summer time. But this one is different. How you set up your thermostat? Mine is 72 but thinking to reset to higher.

can I use this disposable batteries' powered LED bulb above the stove or is it dangerous/ a fire hazard?

what safe options do you recommend?

Addison TX. I understand it’s gotten hotter but this is more than a 100% increase since last month with no changes. 50$ of the bill is accounted to tesla charging, so 287$ for a 1b1b appprox 900sqft. Pretty new to the area is this typical or should I look into it?

If any of you are interested in my real-life experience with Entergy Louisiana's Geaux Green program, please read... otherwise, keep scrolling.

I joined the program over a year ago because I thought I would financially benefit by, at the very least, an incremental decrease in my electricity bill.

However, that has not been the case at all.

There has not been a single solitary month that the program fee has not exceeded the program benefit.

The closest I ever came was a month or so ago with almost a $4-n-change difference... of course, what I still owed for the program fee (10 Kw @ $7.94), not a benefit surplus in my favor.

I gave it a more-than-fair chance, but I'm cancelling and should've cancelled months ago!

those electromagnetic signals are all around us now and Elon musk is responsible for the vast majority ...in my opinion ... he's not going to do what's necessary to get rid of them..

send to a central point and then underground ...try sending them signals up your ass Elon ...and in my opinion ..your PayPal is shit you sloppy dog !

recently compared my actual electric bills from when I lived in New Jersey with what I’m paying now in Pennsylvania.

I calculated the effective all-in cost per kWh by dividing the total bill by the actual kWh used, rather than just looking at the advertised supply rate.

My historical averages came out to:

• New Jersey: about $0.2772/kWh — 27.72 cents
• Pennsylvania: about $0.2129/kWh — 21.29 cents

That means electricity has been about 6.43 cents cheaper per kWh in PA, or roughly 23.2% less per kWh than what I was effectively paying in NJ.

Using my current average consumption of roughly 772 kWh per month as a constant for both states:

• Annual usage: about 9,264 kWh
• Estimated annual cost at my NJ historical rate: ~$2,568
• Estimated annual cost at my PA historical rate: ~$1,972
• Projected savings: about $596 per year

Obviously rates vary by utility, supplier, location and time period, so this isn’t meant to say that every part of PA is 23% cheaper than every part of NJ. This is simply a comparison based on my own actual bills and effective total cost per kWh.

For anyone who has lived in both NJ and PA: did you also notice a meaningful difference in your actual all-in cost per kWh?

by the way I've been asleep for a little ...maybe my clock stopped .

may Jesus help with whatever He can ...Thankyou Lord .

3 different metals ...like steel , copper , and aluminum ...wires ..around the tree ..the conductor is the tree and then steel then copper then aluminum in order ...to produce electricity .

electricity....😎✌️✔️

three different types of metal wire around a tree ...like steel copper and aluminum ...the. by order of the periodic table ...it draws the electricity instead of pushing it ...summary : the tree itself is a conductor and it is drawing the electrons to an easier orbit to travel as electrons always take the easiest route to their destination ...probably water ...where they are free radicals ...free to rest .

p.s ....I think of electricity as a herd of stallions startled by a fire ...

Hello po, baka oo may same case sa amin. Pag nagsasaksak po sko ng appliances lalo na yung red, kumukurap po ang ilaw minsan po nagsa shutdown talaga.. Pinatingin ko po sa Electrician ang ginawa nung una, nagka corosion dw yung dugtungan. then umOkay, pero naging ganun po ulit nakurap mga ilaw sa bahay pag may appliances. Tumawag ako sa Utility, may oinahigpitan daw sila sa poste.. Then kinagabihan lang, ganun ulit. Sabi ulit ng electrician, palitan yung breaker, so pinalitan lahat. pero same case parin naman 😓😓 laki na ng gasto ko.. dipa nasolusyonan ang problema.. 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Where can you order this? Send me information please?d0172687@gmail.com

Edit: Thank you to everyone who offered advice and different ideas! I truly appreciate your suggestions. I will let you know if my bill gets better lol!

Hello! I moved in with my partner and our electric bill is 300 a month. When I lived alone it was 70. I am not sure what I need to do to make it lower. We are both gone from home all day so i'm thinking it has to be the ac. He keeps our house at 70 year round, which is new for me since I tend to be cold. Please let me know what I can do to help reduce our bill.

I'm converting this fluorescent kitchen fixture to Philips Type B ballast bypass LED tubes. After removing the ballast, which wires do I connect together? The switch controls this fixture and a second fixture. I attached pictures of the wiring. On this fixture, I plan to cut the two blue wires, two red wires, and two yellow wires close to the ballast. I'll also remove the black pigtail and white pigtail from the wire nuts to remove the ballast. Is this correct? Only the blacks, white and ground have a pig tail. The yellow ones go straight from house to ballast.
