With 5 pumps running off and on, 2 AC units, a water heater, 2 fridges and a few PCs going all the time, I can rack up some KWH. Five pumps? Are you running an aquaculture farm there? We have two heat pumps, but in the winter the main floor of the house is heated via a gas furnace with electric backup. Water heaters are gas, stovetop is gas, fireplaces are gas. 2 pumps for the well. One pool pump, one spa pump for circulation, one R/O booster pump. There is also a jet pump and heater for the spa but those are only on when I am using it. That really makes the meter hum. I can't get gas here or I would have it. OTOH gas isn't all that cheap here and electricity is. (11c /KWH) Teco is still recovering the cost of running a pipe from Tampa and they still haven't expanded into most old neighborhoods. I haven't really looked into it since I can't get it but at my wife's club the snowbirds were complaining that gas was a lot cheaper up there. I remember it being a pretty small bill when I was there. Gas here used to run about $10 a month, with just the heater. Now with heater (more efficient model) and a gas dryer, the prices have soared. I pay about $120 average a month in gas. As electric Is very pricey. I get an Electric Vehicle rate and pay almost 13 cents a KWh at night, but 42.5 cents peak rate times. If I charged my car during peak times, I figured the gas equivalent is over $4 a gallon. |
