Meanwhile I’m still trying to figure out how my bill went from the usual $250 to $789!!! For a 2 bedroom apt! That’s almost half the rent! Wtf 🤬

Our electric heating(with other electric appliances/water heater) during January(with one room of 2 baseboards on at low temp, but usually running a lot) is about $620ish. January is usually the worst month, but this January is a bit mild. Hoping it reflects in the bill to be near the usual amout, otherwise we'd be probably beating you. December is usually around $350-400ish(before these rate increases). We should be getting our January bill soon, a bit scared lol.

That's pretty high for a 2 bedroom apartment though(the $789), something might be up with your usage or a leak developed somewhere, or your habits changed. It's awful how out of control these rates have gotten, especially for those of us with electric heating. A lot of people with electric heating are going to struggle a bit while this is going on.

Yes but usually during the summer it’ll be around $150 to $175 and in the winter $230 to $275 but NEVER has it been this expensive.
