A $1800 energy bill would supposedly be the triple of a $600 energy bill that people pay for their fridge ?
I got a fridge, a freezer, a giant screen a phone, a dyson, an electrical water heater and a computer and various electrical cooking appliances.
I pay $60 a month. Who pays $600? Is that a common price in the US?
- leetcrew 4y agoI dunno about $600. $200-300 was a typical bill for an older detached 3BR when I was in college. split several ways of course. it wouldn't surprise me if people with significantly larger (and poorly insulated) houses paid a lot more, but that wouldn't be common. AFAIK, the vast majority of an energy bill typically comes from heating and cooling. appliances don't contribute that much. in my current 1BR, with great insulation and neighbors above, below, and on both sides, I too pay about $60 for utilities.
- geoduck14 4y agoDo you have an air-conditioner?
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoNo, however heating is $200 if electrical. But I work from home, so it's always on high temps, unlike for most people. Also, that's still far from $600, that's not anymore "preventing your food to spoil", and that's only a few months a year. A/C as well, you don't usually use it in december in most parts of the US. So yeah, I find this number surprising for a very rich country that should have great infrastructures.
