2010 March | Electricity Bills Information - Part 3
Mar 1

We live in TX and are gone all day but it is running in the 105 range down here?

I lived full time in a 30 ft fifth wheel w/slide outs for over two years in Northwest Washington state, just south of the Canadian border.

I don’t know how rates compare, and obviously the need there was for heat rather than A/C, however, it should be able to give you a ball park idea of costs.

During the winter, when heating was neccessary almost 24/7, and we used electric space heaters, our electricity costs ran around $50 a month. At least one of us was home most all the time, and there were two TV’s, video game consoles, and a computer running usually, plus refrigerator, and electric cooking appliances, and two electric blankets at night.

During the summer, spring and fall, electricity was closer to $15-25, which included a few days of A/C, but not many.

Hope this gives a bit of an idea.
Enjoy!

Turning the electricity on for 15 minutes or running the oil for an hour?

going by my old ‘selectos burner’if i run it for one hour it will heat 30 gallon of water and heat four rads for 1/4 of a gallon of oil,cost about 50 pence,….if you run a electric shower for 15 minutes burning say 8 k.w at 12 pence = cost is 24 pence approx,but no more hot water.
