My place has a power meter inside the property, so meter readers usually can't get inside if I'm not home. The company generates a basic estimate and bills me for that much, and since moving in last year I haven't paid a power bill for more than $200. This time, my shifts were arranged in a way where I was home for someone to read my meter. Checked my email today - $576. Almost triple my usual rate. "then stop using so much power numbnuts" - I don't. I have a wifi modem, a minifridge, a computer, a TV (which the computer is connected to) and a game console. I have a phone and a tablet, the former gets charged every day and the latter every few days. That's everything, aside from the flourescent lights, that uses electricity in my house. My coworker lives in a house with two other people, and his provider billed them $1000 - which is already beyond the pale, he had to call up the power company and say he couldn't pay the bill on time. I get that prices are going up, but what the fuck is up with them almost tripling my power bill? I conserve energy, to the point that I don't have a lot of things that generate electricity in the first place. ... Copied to Clipboard!

My power bill was the exact same price two months ago lmao but it was getting to 115 F here and the energy company raised the cost due to some solar panel bullshit they have to pay off in the state. My home AC was at 78F all month and this shit was still $576 lol
I had to set up a equal payment sorta deal with the electric company so now I spend $179 every month regardless of usage and somehow it balances out. --- http://i.imgur.com/x04tPRZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/t7T392I.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
