Per month, and I'm able to keep the heat at a comfortable 72o, and I don't live in a dimly lit cavern.
It's all been covered in this thread though. Use less lights, turn the heat down when you aren't home and at night, et cetera. The big things I did were replacing all the light bulbs with LED, adjusting the thermostat during the times I'm not home, not running ACs during the day when I'm not home, and making 100% sure every light is off when I'm not using them. Usually after dinner I'll turn off ceiling lights and turn on lower wattage lamps too. Like, yeah, TVs, cell phones, et cetera don't consume a lot of power individually, but if you're leaving multiple devices running 24/7 the shit adds up. -

Originally posted by Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country OP you live you learn. If your heat is electricity then turn down the thermostats, wear more clothes, pull a blanket over yourself when on the computer or the couch, and heat strategically - for instance an electric blanket is cheap to run, a heater to heat a whole bedroom isn't. Use less hot water, only heat the rooms you need, put up curtains over your windows, block off any drafts, and don't heat the place when you're not home or late at night when you're asleep.
Electrical heating is by definition 0% efficient, so there is nothing wrong with your heaters that is causing them to use more electricity or anything like that.
Don't even bother worrying about lights or computers or TVs or anything like that. Those use barely any electricity - might at most use maybe 1kw if all switched on, and that is all being turned into heat anyway.
The big consumers are things like electrical heaters, that use about 2kw each, or washing machines and dryers, which use about 2kw when heating water or drying clothes. Immersion heaters are between 3-5kw when heating water, they shut off when they're not. Electrical showers that heat water can be 13kw, they are real serious users of electricity, but if you only use them for 10 minutes a day or so it's not worth worrying about - it works out about 20c per shower.
I don't even regard what you are paying, which is less than $10 a day, as being a massive amount for heat to be honest, heating places in the winter is expensive, and it's something you will need to specifically budget for.
Um, false. Electric heat by definition is 100% efficient because 100% of the energy consumed is turned in to heat. The fuels used to CREATE the electricity are what makes it expensive. -

Originally posted by Fonaplats So I was looking up my apartment online and found it is actually listed for sale. The whole damn place is for sale.
Im not sure what that means with my lease if another Landlord buys it.
Also I guess each unit has its own electric heater.
Still unsure why my bill is so god damn high.
PM me later Fona, I'll help you with your bills. I got my electric bill down to $100 from $300 over the last year. -

Yes, you should pay for the electricity you used. You realize not paying it will fuck you out of being able to open an account elsewhere, right? Like, one way or the other they're getting their money. -

do you see a pattern here? Buying a george forman and cargo shorts and showing us online isn't being "man of the house"
like both of you and shell have jobs.. so why can't you pay the electric bill? Why did you let your cousin move you two into nigger town?
None of it makes sense really.
Dude, I wish I could buy you a beer. Like wow, very well said. -

You're right, they take 1500 watts to keep water hot all day. I looked it up out of curiosity and was shocked to see they take that much power.
Oh, and to answer your question, Fona:
Your space heaters for one
Multiple computers
You probably leave lights on
You didn't plastic the windows like I suggested
You didn't throw shit above the ceiling tiles like I suggested
They probably didn't read your meter for a while
You might very well possibly share an outlet with another tennant
If there are no other tennants, you're bleeding heat through the walls and ceilings of adjacent space
Walk me through EVERYTHING you do that consumes electricity in a day. -

Originally posted by MexicanMasterRace That's why I got a pico
I got a YoCan Uni only because it's passthrough, and the tank is enclosed within the unit so I don't have to worry about breaking the cart if I drop it. I looked up that Pico though and I wish they made one with a way to enclose the tank, because 18650s are the only way to go. -

Like, no, I get it, he says stupid shit and did some things people don't like, but for some reason some people still find it necessary to lie rather than focus on things he's actually done. -
