I really love the TOU (Time of Use) program. Believe it or not, my May bill was $31.00. For a 1600+ s.f. home. That's right. To be fair, I do not use my dryer, have extra insulated my home, have sunscreens (although my backyard - west exposure - is not done), and have shutters. Windows/shutters are closed upon sun shining on them, my home is bright so use very little lamp/bulb energy, cook (using oven), do laundry, etc. ONLY from 9pm-9am or on weekends. I unplug EVERYTHING when not in use - even those things you have turned off USE ENERGY (supposedly from what I've read ... they are called "instant on" appliances) unless they are unplugged. My gas bill is around $15 per month, during the warm months. Really telling will be my June bill - have not received it yet. I sure hope there was not a mistake - I keep thinking there is and I'll receive a $200 bill the next month. I did call ED3 and they insisted everything was tested and working properly on meter, as they did not believe it either ... We'll see. |
