350$ 2mo ago, highest ive ever gotten one. usually averages about 200-225 in the summer, 100 in the winter. i live in a house built in 04', double insulated windows, high effeciency, ect. that seems to help a lot huh.
i'm with reliant too...looked on my bill and i was getting charged like .14$ kwh, WTF. looked online and found another provider that had it for .09$ fixed. took me 10min to switch online. done. if i would have had the other company for the 350$ bill it would have been 220$. F you reliant.

Man, that sucks cause I just switched over to reliant. I got a .10 rate for a year. Guess I better watch it when my contract is up to make sure it doesn't bump up. Right now I'm paying right at 220 a month with reliant. TXU was ripping me off at 420 a month. They billed me 8 times in a six month period. I got the bill one month and it said I owed over 800 bucks. So I called them and they told me that they double billed me for the month, but I still had to pay. Couldn't give me an explanation why I had to pay. So, TXU sucks too.

I live in Sa, CPS energy provider, and I pay around $140 a month. I own a new 4bedroom, 3 bath 2600 sq ft 2story house. I usually have my a/c at 78 when im gone, and put it on 74 when im home. I live alone, so that's probably why i save some energy.

Don't get me wrong it was alot higher but I just put a new AC in and dropped my KW from 12cents to 9 last yeAr we stayed close to 550-600 thru the hot months of summer with the pool pumps running 12hrs a day. So I don't mind paying 400 for my highest bill

2 bed/2 bath 1300 sq ft duplex - $180 last month, thermo stays at 75 during the day, 72 when we are home.

Used to keep blinds open for light source to save on electricity, but with them open it makes it so much harder to cool the house. I'm scared to get this month's bills.
