    Wurm. This isn't the type of figure that you can guestimate on. Power bills are so different from home to home. A lot of variables play on the amount. It's not just what power is ran in the home. You have other factors. Insulation. If your home isn't properly insulated, you'll have high power bills. That's what my problem is. In the summer, my AC runs at least 23 1/2 hours a day if I leave it on because my house is so poorly insulated, it never gets cooled to the set temp(which is only 78). My bills run into the mid $200s during those months. And I don't run my electrics all the time either. That's just from the AC unit. Nah mean? Later, QD.
    FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!

    truth. roof/window insulation is important for season energy upkeep.

    on my own my power bill was like 45-75 bucks for a 1 bedroom apartment approx 950 sq ft, that is with AC on at 70 on all the time.

    Now I live with my b/f and lately its been $100 a month

    I'm living in a 1350sqft house and the windows in the back haven't been replaced yet and my power bill is somewhere between $100-$150 depending on usage. That's with the ac/heat on most of the time. QD is right, it all depends on insulation, my old house had more energy efficient windows but worse insulation and the bill would vary on a large scale. It can suck if your house/apartment was built ****ty.

    Bozzio for president.
