Re: I think I'm going to have a heart attack...LIPA bill related...
That sounds out of control...but I do have a question.
Are there any new appliances that could have made it shoot up like that?
Are there any faulty appliances?
Is someone stealing your electric?

I would see if you can get in to do your ouwn reading of the meter. This happened to us last month. I opened the bill and it said 1250.00 . The man read the meter wrong. We owed 25.00. The guy from LIPA said to never trust your bill

That must be wrong. Not sure how big your apt is but I have a one bedroom - I live in the city though so our bill is from coned. My ac is on 24/7 and our bill has maxed out at $200. call them for sure!

Re: I think I'm going to have a heart attack...LIPA bill related...

That is crazy! I would flip out myself if I got a bill like that. That has to be wrong! I'm in a house and I pay less that that.

First of all, thank you everyone for responding!
As for these questions...
No new or faulty appliances. I am wondering, however, if the complex is stealing electricity from us. I have always thought that, and I definitely think it even more, now. And I think they are able to get around it because the meters are in a locked room, so if I need the meter to be re-read, they have to be contacted first to open the room. It's fishy to me, to be quite honest.
I am going to talk to my neighbors tomorrow.
I'll keep everyone updated on what happens

Rach- no one at LIPA wants to look into this for you- I mean in all seriousness.... they dont think this is a little strange...
I mean have them look at your past bills (last summer) yea we had a heat wave- but not enough to make your bill go up $600.
Tell them they need to investigate- for there is no way this is right...
Im on a budget- and my bill this summer has been $148- we have 1-3 AC's on all day and night... and Im home during the day so the TV and lights are on and off all day...
Last summer- I wasnt on the budget plan and I think my highest bill was $200

That can not be!! We just got our budget for the year and it has gone up $1/month to $92/month and even though we did not have the ac on 24/7, we did use it alot more this year.
I have a 3 bedroom house.
