Reply to comment by 1500mgsalt in Be Honest With Me, How much has your electric bill been this last month? by KindaEgotistical

If you don’t mind me asking this seems like a lot. How is this possible? How did it become so high?

Eversource supply and Eversource delivery, I presume? BIG jump in January. No idea why Eversource supply cost is so much higher than many suppliers listed on https://energizect.com/rate-board/compare-energy-supplier-rates (except that people pay it?).

It's the electric heat that is a killer

Yes, it’s the electric heat and not enough insulation. We do have Eversource as our supplier but I think the first two are the biggest reasons.

I’d definitely look into insulation or alternative suppliers or something to help make your home energy efficient because for two people that seems like a lot and I abused my electric heat 2 years back and had so many things running

Oh.. and another big reason is my husband refuses to turn down the heat. He said he’d rather get a second job lol.
