Anyone just receive their latest Con Ed bill? Shocked? I thought last month’s bill (mid-June to mid-July) was bad enough – but this one?!?!? Astronomical!!
August 11, 2011 8:59 pm at 8:59 pm #797895HachamMemberWelcome to the summer.
August 11, 2011 10:06 pm at 10:06 pm #797896TheGoqParticipantI have level billing and my payment came down 5 dollars.
August 11, 2011 10:44 pm at 10:44 pm #797897ronrsrMemberdoes Con Ed offer free energy audits? Most utilities do. We found many ways to save electricity throughout the year. This year our electric bill is up a bit,but mostly because of the need for more air conditioning and a new dehumidifier, air filter and cpap machine.
How many refrigerators do you have?
Have you switched to compact fluorescent light bulbs?
If the rates haven’t changed, your bill is likely closely related to the amount of electricity you use.

August 12, 2011 3:14 am at 3:14 am #797899ronrsrMemberCan you tell us your usage in kilowatthours for the last few months?
August 12, 2011 3:39 am at 3:39 am #797900TheGoqParticipantI like the level billing there are no surprises
August 12, 2011 3:44 am at 3:44 am #797901ronrsrMemberCon Ed will indeed help you lower your bill by helping you buy more energy efficient appliances, doing a home energy audit and other programs.

August 12, 2011 8:02 pm at 8:02 pm #797902ronrsrMemberCF light bulbs and a new energy star refrigerator made a tremendous difference for me, cutting a third off my electric bills.
August 14, 2011 9:02 pm at 9:02 pm #797903metrodriverMemberronsr; The last paragraph in your previous post is a no-brainer. Obviously. The amount you are being billed is not only closely related, but directly related to usage in KWH. (Kilowatt hours.). The way I figure the cost of electrical usage is, that I divide the net amount of $$ on the bill by KWH. (Never mind all the myriad fixed and variable charges and cost add-ons and all the other gibberish on your bill.) The net cost comes out to 27c/KWH.

August 15, 2011 1:19 am at 1:19 am #797905tomim tihyeMemberThe rate on our May bill was 8.8%.
The rate on this bill is 13.6%.
That’s an increase of about 55%.
Audits, shmaudits.
It’s not US, it’s THEM Ganovim.
August 15, 2011 7:45 am at 7:45 am #797906ronrsrMemberWhat rate are you referring to?
August 15, 2011 5:45 pm at 5:45 pm #797907TheGoqParticipantIt sounds like the rate is making you irate tomim.
August 15, 2011 7:37 pm at 7:37 pm #797908tomim tihyeMemberron: probably the same rate to which you referred in your first post
goq: first-rate comment!
August 16, 2011 7:43 am at 7:43 am #797909ronrsrMemberI’m paying about $0.155 per kwh from. The electric utility owned by our small town.
They put lots of nice graphs and figures on the bill, so each year we try to use less electricity in a given month than in the previous year.
Most month’s we succeed. This year we’re having trouble because we got a dehumidifier for the basement we never had before, and we have a foster childnwho has no concept of conservation
For reference we used 520 kwh in June for a household of two adults and two teenagers. We live in a 9 room house with one room air conditioner, one refrigerator and one tv.
