I syour electric bill to high? Mine is. I currently live in a 3 br house with full basement and a attic. My electric bill in 1 month was over $900. I currently am with BGE. Honestly I believe that we're being screwed my them. I run as little electricty as possible i.e. not having any lights on unless I need them, not tv on most of the time, only tunring on my pc unlees I need to use it and etc. I even gt outside during different times of the day to see how fast my meter is spinning. Sometimes it spins slow, sometimes very fast (I saw it spin fast when I whad everything turned off) It's ridiculous. I think the summertime and winter time rates are stupid also. It's like they're saying "hey, lets make it look like we're helping by lowering the rate in the summer and raise the rate in the winter. That way when x-mas time come they have little money for presents and stuff cause they gotta give it to us.. HEHEHE" I think its wrong for companies to do that. If you have a similar situation or like to reply on this discussion please do so. i would luv to hear 'em.

Honestly I use lttile as possible. The state of maryland has a high rate according to bge t(which is owned my constalation energy) the we as a state are just caching up to other states rates. Do we look like Vegas? Beleive me when I say I'm using very little. As for as far as changing we really don't have much options because they're all own by constalation energy and anybody else we go with would be crappier service. Everything is off pretty much during the day unless I need it. The most thing that runs is the AC and my bill was that high b4 we kicked it. I think it's just another way for the "man" to screw us hard working cizitens out of what lil $$ we do make. TY for replyng
