3,200 sf house and my Demco bill is $120 during winter. Both my heaters and hot water heaters are gas though.

and demco so it was CHEAP
Do you pay federal taxes? Just wondering since taxpayers pay a portion of the bills of Demco/WST/SLEMCO or other socialized electricity providers.

I would say that's VERY high. We finished building our house(2900ft LA) in late November . We got moved in 2 days before thanksgiving. My first bill was 290 without any insulation in the attic for that whole cycle. It's fully insulated now and my units run maybe twice a day.I have 3-15 seer heat pumps,1-50 gal electric water heater,and a propane tankless water heater. You need some more insulation among other things already mentioned.

Deeyam. I get mad if mine's over $50.
Posted on 1/21/14 at 8:01 pm to jojothetireguy
Damn dude. I do level billing. $150 a month, every month.

We're total electric and 1 wood burning fireplace and ours was $600 last month for 4400sf. It'll be around 750-800 this month.
Yours seems about right to me.

Maybe reader wAS wrong ?

Yeah I checked the meter reading and so did energy supposedly. They said everything was right.
Got my heat and ac guy coming Thursday to check everything out. Thanks for all the suggestions fellas

Turn your heater off!! When you get home, turn it on to knock off chill then off again. Same first thing when you wake up in the morning. You'll sleep better and save much money!!

I work for a power generation company as an EMS administrator. I can literally see the exact load of each region of Louisiana. We broke records this winter in terms of load. Most people don't realize that Louisiana is a winter peaking state and that's mostly due to people having electric heaters instead of gas. On a related note, there's a propane shortage in the midwest right now.

Get solar panels like everyone else is.
