New England has some of the highest electric rate in the states. Do you run electric heat or use a lot of hot water from an electric water heater?

I thought ours was kind of high at $350 a month. I put a meter on the barn and found we were using $150 a month out there for lighting, ventilation, and hot water. The remaining $200 on the house is hot water, well pump, a freezer, two refrigerators, and a lot of gadgets.

How do you manage that? Your state average is around 9. That sounds like an industrial rate.

The house we lived in 3 years ago, well that was a nightmare. Horrid insulation and a/c ran $600 a month set at 82. That SUCKED.

Amen sister. I can say that I only have ONE loan. We have regular payments on things, but only ONE real debt.

Ahh, it helps when they own everything; generation, transmission and distribution.

We are a member of a co-op but generation and transmission costs are paid out to other entities.

Do you heat with electric? Air conditioning?

Run a big screen tv setup all day? Those things suck MEGA power. My tv setup costs nearly $10 a month in electricity when everything is turned OFF.

I suggest you buy a Kill-o-watt & test everything you can to see what is sucking so much power.
