I am almost embarrassed to say our bill is $130/month +. Our company doesn't do energy audits,
doesn't have off hour rates and I don't know what to do. I feel like there must be another house or street
lights or something hooked up to our meter. We live in a single familt home, 2 adults, 2 cats and 1 dog.
I called and since we have been in our house for 3 years, they say that according to our account the charges are
right in line. It's bugged me for 3 years... but, I've been busy. Prepping now to SAHM so need to save $
like a mad woman.

Here's some details:
1200 sq feet
we turn all lights off when we exit a room
no central air and only have a/c on when we are in bed
we do have a (new) stand up freezer in basement
DW gets run once a day
I only do laundry every-other weekend (12+ loads)
we have oil heat & an electric HW heater (btw LOVED the turn the HW heater off idea but we don't have a switch and dh won't go for it).
I have a fridge (new w/ freezer in bottom) and a mini-fridge
We occassionally use the oven/stove miscrowave. The TV is probably on 5 hours a day.
I have 1 light on a timer. we use those special lightbulbs everywhere possible (have 5 i think).
We have 2 sensors outside. 1 hardly ever comes on. We have 2 dehumidifiers in basement
that run only in June-beg. of Sept and they come on&off as needed. So, my bill in Feb was
still $130+.

I'm new to the site so no flamming, please :-)
