electricity bills in winter are THE WORST!!!!!

xpost OTM!!

electricity bills in winter are THE WORST!!!!!

no way.

during jan&feb my hydro bill is 2.5 times my summer bill. due both to heating and the longass hot showers which i cannot not have.

Have you ever stayed late at work where it is warm to save on heatings bills?

I totally haven’t!!!

Are the boring threads some kind of running joke? Cuz even if they are, they’re making me hate this place.

turn off heat when i leave the apartment? GOOD IDEA, but i SOMETIMES FORGET!!!

boringness is in the eye of the holder.

some people say ‘be’holder, but have they worked as a professional copyeditor?

Ok wait obviously they are—I didn’t realize at first the scope of their proliferation.

hahaha to meta

okay but DON’T turn your heat OFF (maybe down a bit tho) when you leave yr apt b/c then you just have to turn it back on and it takes a lot of energy to re-heat yr whole apartment/house again. srsly. it does.

it’s not enough to work, you have to work WELL

robyn, i’ve heard that before. is it TRUE? where is NABISCO?

it is true. robyn otm.

see, a burglar is not going to be fooled if he sees just one light on. you have to leave them ALL on.

electricity bills in winter are THE WORST!!!!!

My city utilities (electric/water/sewage/trash) cost half as much in the winter compared to summer. Natural gas bill = 20X higher. This year we’re finally getting smart and turning the central heat way down and using electric space heaters.

Way!

the jean teasdale threads are perplexing today.

I suspect this varies largely by region but our winter electric bill runs $150 or so a mth and summer is usually $250–300

because of air-conditioning?

yes. although I’m not really sure why our winter bill is so high. our heat is gas and we don’t run it much.

Oh man you know what else rules in winter? BLANKETS.

I know! I know! SOCKS.

Damn, too late.
