Electricity Bill...Help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
damn dude $0.30 kw/hour...thats crazy....when i was with city power mine was $0.14 kw/hour and now i moved and with a different company mines only $0.11 kw/hour....the city had the option to do split charge...7am-7pm was $0.22 kw/hour and 7pm-7am was $0.09 kw hr
 
I've been thinking mine was rediculous. (Which it is compared to most people.)
I've been running 21 emp 400's, 12 fx-5's, many, many powerheads, and alot of etc. We have around 3,000 gallons of water just for fish in the house.
Our bill is usually $400+.
I would invest in one of those kilo watt meters. So you know what everything uses.
I also would like to do the same butt I just haven't yet.
 
Was the monthly cost the same each month or did it spike for that one month? If it spiked you can call the electric company that there must have been something wrong. One bill of mines was $1,300. I called them and they adjusted it to average of the other months. It could have been your pumps but don't tell them that. Get a Kill-A-Watt tester and find the source of the problem.
 
Also some electric companies will charge WAY WAY WAY more in the higher tiers due to the fact that your using electricity for non essential purposes. Most states are chargin more per KW when high amounts electricity is be used for non essentials, which I do agree with. If you want to use 10-15x the normal energy usage for luxury then you should be paying more per KW, especially with the current energy problems in the US. If you can afford luxury items that use more energy than an average family then you be able to pay the higher energy cost. There is not infinite electricity. This is def something you should of investigated and planned for before the investment in the tanks. Your carbon foot prints effect us all and your excessive waste of electricity is only slightly offset by higher energy costs.

Really?? Why should a person pay more for the same electricity? oh ya Socialism.
