High electric bill?

Anyone had any experience with a suddenly spiked electric bill? We've been consistently around $100 higher that normal for us, this has been going on for around 6-7 months.

We've had our water heater checked, it's fine and now I'm trying to get our electric company to come out to do a high bill investigation but it's seems to be more difficult to get them out here than I'd had hoped. Anyone go through something like this? TIA.

  • I think it's just that time of year - lots of AC, kids in and out of the house, etc.  Our's was $148 this month, boo!

    That's what they are trying to tell us, only it's been running high since Dec '10/January '11. Ours was almost triple yours, and I think we have about the same size house. OUCH!! 

  • Triple that?!  That's not right.. do you have old windows?

  • No kidding it's not right, it's sickeningIck!

    We have a new house (less than 5 years old), supposedly energy efficient with new upgraded windows, efficient furnace, etc. It's crap!

  • I think something is definitely not right with yours. We are on a budget plan and ours just went down. We are paying $98. I'm sure after this summer it will go back up cuz it was HOT out. We also have around 3500 sq ft.

  • Do you have a digital meter?  I know they replaced ours with a digital a few years ago and now they just have to drive by or something to read it instead of reading it manually, which comes with issues, I'm sure.  I would guess that thing's malfunctioning or something!

    I'm SURE you have, but just in case:  You change filters often and keep your outside A/C unit nice & clean, right?  

    Why are they stalling on coming out to investigate?
