Utilities
On average can you ladies tell me what to expect to pay in your area for utilities (gas, electric, water, sewer, long distance phone, interent, etc)? I can tell you all will be a ton of help in the next few months if DH's plans work out!

Re: Utilities
I'm in Louisville, so I hope this will help...
Gas and elec. - about $100-120/mo. for our 1500 sq. ft. condo (3rd floor w/ cathedral ceilings)
water and sewer - not sure, ours is included in HOA
long distance - not sure, we just use cell phones for that
cable, internet - you have two options here, satellite w/ bellsouth DSL or Insight cable w/ broadband. I have Insight, and it isn't cheap or great service, but I really don't want a satellite. Internet is 35/mo., cable is 45/mo., and we have phone with them too and it is 30/mo. I think when you first sign up you can get all three for about 99/mo for the first year.
We're in Lexington, and currently own a 1100 square foot townhouse.
Electric - In the winter it tops out at about $100 (we don't usually turn the thermostat up past 71) but has been as low as $50.
Water - This bill includes sewage and trash removal, and runs about $20 a month.
We use cell phones (no land lines) and pay about $117 per month for service on both phones.
Through Directv, we have a DVR and service that includes the local channels and regular 'cable' channels, but not movie channels. That's $50 per month.
We don't have a computer at home, so we don't have internet service.
HTH! Let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks! That seems pretty in line with what I pay now. From what I can tell from my research there are not many differences between Louisville and Salisbury - COL, job market, utilities, home cost, weather, etc...
Gas-Winter-avg. $100 a month, during the summer it is $10 --Just heating
Electric-winter $75, summer- $125
Water- $25
Internet & cable is $65 a month
We are in a 1600sqft. house.
