I'm gone all day during the week and the only appliances I use are a fridge/freezer and TV that's on 2-3 hours a day max. I also have a laptop that's on alot and use all low energy CFLs in my lamps. I was running only 1 of the 600s and a 400 for this billing period.

Yeah, for the previous billing period I ran both 600s and the 400 and my bill was a little over $600 for two months. Before that, I ran 2 400s on coil ballasts with another 400 in veg and my bill never exceeded $385 for two months.

If you go on the CARE program, your bill will be cut tremendously. I am in Southern California as well. I had a one bedroom apartment with 5000 watts and was paying $750 a month. Then, I got onto the CARE program with SDGE and the bill went down to $400.

Bill could easily be correct.

They probably just mis-read your meter. 108 kwh per day is the equivalent of running 4500 watts 24hrs a day. Or 9 1000w lights on a 12hr cycle.

Sound fair to me.

Electric is very expensive and only getting more expensive.
Especially where i live where 1 kwh cost 1.5 dollas with tax.

[blastfrompast]

wow...20cents..we are paying 1/4 that here....

Was your previous bill ESTIMATED...Here they only do a reading every second bill, so if their estimate is off the month before.... it gets tacked onto the new one.

thats crazy... in socal and mine are $2-2.5k for 12 lights+accessories

[ceosam]

when you average the cost per kwh its .21

Is the CARE program available through LADWP?

My boy told me people in Humboldt area were getting raided for abusing the care program. Be careful. I got off if it ill just pay the fuckers.
