I'm about to burst into tears again as I'm being bounced around electric companies, promising me a lower rate while they are gouging me to death. I have a $1100 mortgage for a 900 sq' house, air conditioning set at 75 which covers 3 of my 6 rooms only, the other 3 have no heat or air. In those 3 I use window fans to exhaust during this 9…
I'm about to burst into tears again as I'm being bounced around electric companies, promising me a lower rate while they are gouging me to death. I have a $1100 mortgage for a 900 sq' house, air conditioning set at 75 which covers 3 of my 6 rooms only, the other 3 have no heat or air. In those 3 I use window fans to exhaust during this 90 degree summer.
Now picture this: No electric water heater, no electric stove or heat, no clothes dryer, no microwave, no curling iron or hair blower, TV on 5 hours a day and no lights other than 15watt night lights during the summer. My electric bill is $550 a month.
When Putin came to power he gathered all these blood suckers together and asked them to justify this massive increase in utility prices the people were burdening. They tap danced around him and he saw right thru their bullshit and made them bring these costs down to a livable level for struggling people. And he's a dictator right?
Might I suggest checking your electric meter outside to make sure the reading matches what the electric company tells you. If not, they might be trying to take advantage of you because of your age ( I don’t mean any disrespect). Get a neighbor you trust to try and determine why your bill is so high.
No offense taken, I assure you. That did enter my mind and will demand that my meter be checked in person. I don't know if I have a smart meter, and if so, have no doubt that they can control that if I do. They latched onto me 2 years ago when I was paying 150 during the year and 175-200 during the summer. Now I can't get back. My utilities are now equal to my mortgage when 2 years ago they were half that.
You should also check the meter on the date they claim to check it. They might do it remotely. But ask what date that will be. The smart meters I believe are digital. The others you can see a small dial or wheel turning, and numbers moving slowly. You and at least one other person should take a picture of the meter on that date, and include a date on the photo. Good luck.
