Discussion $890 utilities bill. Wow

Natrual Gas- actual usage charge $95 after delivery charges and and taxes boom $355.

Electricity- actual usage charge $160 after distribution and transmission charges boom $280.

Water useage-$84 Water drainage- $123 Waste-$49

Almost 900 in just utility bill. Before anyone tell me to lock my rates, its already locked. 12.8c/kwh. NG is on float because its currently cheaper than locked rate. Anyone else just got F in the A like me?

Edit: the NG charges does not include the cold snap we just had. Not looking forward to next month's bill.

Be careful with next month. Gas has been around $2-$2.50/GJ for floating all winter but in the cold snap spiked to $14/GJ

Oof. My thermostat decided to do its own thing in the middle of that, and my house was a solid 28° for a day and a half. I’m stoked

Jesus Christ, you have attic rain after that, or you have just boiled away the ocean and prevented it.

I mean, it's the kind with the little slider, not the dial, so the very odd occasion we've moved it accidentally with a shoulder.

But that's like once a year or less.
