Bittersweet electric usage  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
So I posted last month about how I thought something was wrong w/ our electricity usage. I checked this month's bill and it's gone up again and was a shorter billing cycle: This is after hang drying all laundry but the diapers, switching some bulbs to cfl, and being diligent about our usage. I called the electric co this morning to complain.

The guy I spoke w/ explained b/c it's been colder this month, even if I keep our temp the same, the heat pump still has to work harder and use more energy. He then said my electric usage is really great for my area and get this...

The average bill for our area has TRIPLED!!! I guess I should count my blessings that ours only went up $6....

yeah mine went up a ton, I went from a $24 electric bill to $90 and this is from being extremely conservative with the heat.
