Moved to first house in August, PSEG bill was 80$, November was 170, December came back 470. Is this to be expected or is there something wrong here? ~1600 sq ft house with gas stove and heater and no washer/dryer.

One other thing not considered/mentioned: if you were on the Equal Payment Plan program (or, whatever it is called when they estimate your annualized monthly payments based on prior usage) you might be getting the "true up" bill now. We have friends who *thought* they were saving money each month and had somehow magically cracked the code to lower bills, but turns out they were using WAY MORE electricity than they thought and just got socked with a 1.3K PSEG bill last month. It was their "true up" bill that includes any overages not covered by the estimated monthly bills.
