Broke it for the first time. $598. Not complaining because the house is big and I finally got the thermostat programs just right.

In. Just over last month. Little more rain and cover so far this month. Little cooler at night. Should be headed down going forward. Hope.

$624 last month. Bill is combined .. electric, gas, water, sewer and trash.

Lack of rain and having to keep adding water to the pool didn't help.

My meter got read today- I’m sure it’s going to be $500+, but we’re on level billing, so my bill will probably be $265 or so. Makes it easier to budget every month.

my most expensive bill this year was about $200. My July bill was $150. havent noticed anything abnormal compared to prior years either ~2000 sq ft and keep AC between 72-75. It’s crazy seeing how insane some of your electric bills are. Is it BR or entergy specific?

My bill for the prior 3 months was around $185. House stays at 74 during the day and 72 at night during the week, and 72 all day on the weekends.

This month was $388 and we just got the next bill, $392. 2900 SF in BR.

It jumped $200 out of nowhere and now it’s consistently that much more than what it used to be? That sucks. There has to be a ton of people calling and demanding explanations from the electric company when they see their bills jump like that. It’s going to end up being part of the state legislature’s political platforms now I bet.

$1282 last month.

A new record.

I’d like to thank my wife and kids, who, without them, none of this could be possible!

If your bill is at $900 and you have your house that updated, you have some seriously wrong somewhere. Under no circumstances should your bill be $900. So no I’m not full of shite, you just don’t have any idea what a normal bill is.
