Just trying to get an idea of what people's electricity monthly bill looks like.
My house is around 1200 square feet and I have taken every thinkable steps to cut down on my electric bill. Every bulb in my house are LEDs, wifi smart thermostat, weather proofing the heck out of every door/window (outer walls very wall insulated), Heat usually set to 63 in winter and AC set to like 77 in summer and on, and on...
I live in Saugus, MA and my bill is usually around $250 ($270 this past month), sometimes less sometimes more depending on the weather. That's an average of 1100 kWh a month @ $.2532/kWh including delivery charges.
What doesn't change too much is what the Reef tank uses per month. According to my Apex, it uses around 645 kWh. That amounts to $165 of electricity a month!
National Grid reminds every month how I am the least "efficient" energy user in the neighborhood. Which I always tell myself if I didn't have a Reef tank, I would also be an "EFFICIENT NEIGHBOR" National Grid!
I guess the point of this thread is to see what everyone's electric bill looks like so I can feel a little better about paying $270 a month in electricity.
Rants over, thanks guys
