Reply to comment by eddie964 in Help Figuring Out Utility Costs for 1 bedroom by agrace1902

Thank you so much! That’s very helpful to know! I’m about 40 mins east of New Haven on the shoreline rn and eversource has been the fucking gift the keeps on giving. The idea of having it out of my life is amazing…

So if you are 40 minutes East of NH, you probably actually are in Eversource territory.

They get kind of a bad rap, though. Electricity is expensive right now because gas is the main fuel used by power generators in CT, and the cost of gas is through the roof. Eversource needs to work on customer service and keeping delivery costs down, but the current uproar is due to something the company doesn't control or profit from.

Yeah I’m in eversource now but when I move I’ll be in UI if that’s all the New Haven has. Is UI considered better than Eversource typically?

Gotcha. UI doesn't seem to inspire quite the same level of hate, but that's probably because Eversource is much bigger. Their rates are similar, and UI is maybe a little more on the ball getting power back on after storms.
