I was thrilled to see that my power bill was about 100 dollars less than the previous month. I was thinking could I have really used that less much electricity? I think what it was is the electric company usually gives us one low bill per year around the holiday season as kind of a Christmas present. I think maybe I did use less electricity because we haven't needed the heat or AC but also I think they may have given us a gift. We will see how it is next month. As for now, I am a happy camper!

Well done on the low bill.
Always a boost when a bill is a bit lower than we might expect.
We got our electric bill into today to cover the last 6 months
Only £150.
Quite pleased with that

150 for 5 months??? Why is your bill so cheap? Don't you ever use your heat?

@JimBo452020 I don't put on the heat unless it is direly needed. AC is another matter it can get super humid here, hot and uncomfortable. That is used the majority of the year.

Very little heating on.
Dry heat annoys Yvonne, her COPD seems to like colder conditions.
Suits me lol

Always good to have a little bit of reprieve around this time of year. Really nice of them to do that too!

That is good to read that your power bill was down $100 than the previous month. I hope next month it will not be higher.

I have what our electric company calls “EMPP” (estimated monthly payment plan), where they take your total bill from last year and divide it by 12. If you overpaid, it’s credited the first month of the new yearly cycle; and if you didn’t pay enough they charge the difference and raise the payment. My monthly payment is $108. I like knowing what it’ll be every month. Low utility bills are a true blessing!

That is awesome...since this whole house is based on electricity, the bill can be quite high. This bill was under 100 and not sure I remember it being that low to tell you the truth.

My bill historically is the lowest in October and then again in April.

Yes, I was pleased. We all need to try to keep as much of our money as possible.
