Wow, thank you all for your responses. I retired about the time people started hunkering down because of covid. We pretty much self quarantined with the exception of medical appointments and bi weekly grocery shopping. Since things eased up we've still stuck pretty close to home and the only increases I've noticed is gas and food. We have a seasonal contract for heating and lock in sometime between summer and fall. We heat with propane and have a really efficient hybrid system. We pay per delivery so it's not monthly but I'd be really surprised if it came to $400 a month and we have a large house. Between what I read here on Reddit about Worcester rents and energy bills sometimes it feels like I'm climbing out of a bunker in some post apocalyptic future. We're seniors and keep the house around 70 during the day and 68 at night. We live in the sticks so it's always a little bit colder here. Anyway maybe our daughter's electric bill is that high but her apartment is really small. We're going to keep checking out the situation until it's resolved one way or the other. Thanks again everyone.

How would you prefer it to be resolved? Have her pay the bill and move on. $400 for a month of heat at 68° is about right if not super cheap. Try keeping it at 60° if she wants to keep it around $200. This post was incredibly unnecessary and pointless, nothing sketchy is going on chill out
