crazy high electric bill
we moved into our place july 1. for the first 3 motnhs, we weren't getting an electric bill- they were sending it to the wrong town- we live literally on the border block. so our first bill, for 3 months was about 600. then last month we got a bill for 330- which was not normal. we called LIPA, they said its probably jsut leftover from the billing screwup, meter read, so on. then ,we just got another elctric bill- which is really only the secodn montly bill- of 230. still WAY too high. we live a 3 bedroom duplex- LR,DR, kitchern downstairs, 3 bedroom upstairs. central gas/electric.
what do we do? we dont leave lights on all day, we are careful, does thsi sound right? coudl this still be a mess up form the summer? they said last moth -the first hgih monthly bill - was a prorate form over hte summer, btu somethign is not right?

Re: crazy high electric bill
Chekck your bill and make sure they are billing you for a HOME and NOT commercial.
It's. Problem that they have.
Also, the house could be very innefiicent. Alsomdo you have 30 foot ceilings? We domand our power is 500 month.

Re: crazy high electric bill
are you on balanced billing? I can see what they are doing. They didn't want you to have a super high bill, so they are adding a little over time. But the bill seems pretty normal to me.
Do you have xmas lights up? Those suckers take a lot of juice.
