I think I'm going to have a heart attack...LIPA bill related...
How in hell is it possible that my ONE BEDROOM apartment used EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS of electricity last month? HOW?! It's NOT freaking possible! Yet, they are blaming the FOUR day heatwave. Give me a break! My bill is NEVER more than 99 dollars a month and that's with the AC running all day. I'm SO upset and I couldn't get anywhere on the phone with LIPA. They kept telling me that it was the heatwave. So in theory, everyone else's bill should have gone up 700 dollars a month, too, huh?
SO, tell me, did YOUR bill go up 700 hundred F-ing dollars?

Re: I think I'm going to have a heart attack...LIPA bill related...
 They are SOOOO screwed up over there. My bills are astronomically ridiculous..not as bad as yours..but ridiculous. And I get even more screwed because we pay our own electric in our apartment and there is a second apartment on the premisis that is tied into ours and they give us $25 a month towards our $200 bill. And our landlord thinks its fair so we get screwed. We are in a war with them now to at least get it raised to $50.

That's just not right...I live at home with my Grandma and Father, and if our bill EVER went up that much, trust me, I would know about it. Ours went up a little after the heat wave, but not even half of yours, for a 3 bedroom home.
I understand it going up about a hundred dollars, but that much is TOO MUCH!!
Call again, and don't stop calling until they bring it down.

That is INSANE. There is no way that your bill should be that much.

Does not sound right. Ours was under $400 and we have a 1800 sq. ft house with central AC running 24/7.

Re: I think I'm going to have a heart attack...LIPA bill related...
thats impossible. I would speak to a manager. There is NO way.
although now Im scared to DEATH! Our last bill was only $48 and we have had the a/c on 24/7 since...( two of them actually).
I would never in a million years pay an $800 lipa bill..EVER
There is for sure something wrong.
I think I would end up in the ER crying if My bill was that high !

Re: I think I'm going to have a heart attack...LIPA bill related...
definately call and have them read your meter again!!!!!
I live in NJ, and this happened to me not long after I moved into my house. I opened my bill and and saw $3700! I almost dropped dead! Another month, we had a $700 bill, DH thought that is just the price you pay when you have a house. I called them and they verified that there was an error when they read the meter.

Is your apt in a buliding or a house?
If its in a house its posible that u maybe paying for electricity through out the house, not just your apt? Thats really high! I would be pi$$ed too!

demand that they come read your meter ASAP. There was just an article in Newsday last month about this and a man getting a extremelly high bill and it was a faulty meter!

Re: I think I'm going to have a heart attack...LIPA bill related...
They did this to us last August as well. We live in an apartment complex and the meters are kept in a locked room. I can't even get to it I am so mad, I can't even tell you. I am so bad at dealing with them, too. I just start cursing at them and telling them they're F-ed up I am just so unbelieveably sick to my stomache over this.
