Energy Bills

[Guest]

I’m in Michigan. Right now, we live in a 1500 sq ft apartment, and

only pay electricity. Heat is included in the rent (thank GOD!). Our

electricity runs about $80 a month right now, but in the summer, it

will be higher when we use the AC. I want to say we were around

$150/month over the summer.

Last winter, we lived in a 900 sq ft house that was very poorly

insulated, and we were spending at least $300 a month on heat.

This place is also poorly insulated (we have the heat cranked up to

about 80-85, the living room is roasting, but all the bedrooms are

freezing). I’m really glad we don’t pay heat, I don’t even want to

imagine how high it is. I’d think with the complex paying it, they’d

be more interested in making the place better insulated.
