About how much electricity bill for a 750sq' apartment?

[Frank]

A friend of ours is routinely seeing $90 - $150 in electric bills in her small 1 bedroom apartment. Its 2nd floor, no vaulted ceilings, no west facing walls, and she has been really careful to turn off lights and not run heat or air any more than she has to. Her rate is 11 cents fixed and she hit 1400kwh last month (heating mostly i'm sure.)

Does this sound reasonable? Sounds kinda high to me.

If she used 1400 kWh at a rate of $.11 per kWh, I'd say about $150 is accurate.

Sounds high as fuck.

She needs to buy batteries.

Mine was $45 last month for an 850 sqf apartment, has vaulted ceilings, 1st floor. My rate is .08 kwh.

Yeah, but I mean the kwh usage seems high to me.

The highest I've seen it was $180 for my similarly sized place... same setup too. Otherwise it's usually 80-130. I think a lot of it has to do with shitty heat/cool retention and little to no insulation. They put some weather stripping on the front door recently though.. lol.

Yeah that's about what mine was for the same sized place. Sucks man, gotta have electricity though, what are you gonna do be amish?

i lived in a 1300sqft 2 bedroom apt on the top floor(4th) with vaulted ceilings, back of the apt facing the west and the highest bill we had was 165 and that was the hottest part of the summer

On what temperature is the heat set? With all the cold weather mine ended up being more expensive the last two months than it was all summer (electric heat).

Depends on the apartment. I have lived in nice apartments that were built like shit as far as energy efficiency goes with small low seer units running constantly in the winter and summer.

My bill last month was the highest it has been in the year I have lived in my house. 1700 sq ft and it was $190. The summer time at 75 degrees all day and a bit lower at night usually yielded a $120 electricity bill. I was pissed to see $190 though. I don't know my rate as it is not fixed and I am through a co-op.
