Some people have mentioned (although it may have been in the other thread on Electric Bills) that their statement was for 34 vs. 26 days or something like that for Jan vs. Dec. I just checked mine and my Jan. statement was for 33 days vs. 30 in Dec., so that could have some effect.

We just had OUR highest bill ever.
We plan to devote as much of our tax return as possible to upgrading to deal with this. We're easily losing a few thou a year in wasted electric, because I don't see how we can be freezing in that house, have most things turned off and still pay outrageous costs for electric.

If it was only so easy I certainly would, but they have us by the gonads.
As Christy said earlier: If you want electric you have to pay for it.
I'm going to turn the thermostats way down and start layering my clothes (bring on the thermal underwear)

Target have thermal underwear on clearance. I just bought two set last week.
I can't believe you are freezing in your home and you are already wearing a jacket in the house.
Hope you can stay warm and pretty soon, spring will be here and we'll get a break!

Well we aint paying for oil we are using electric heaters so that is what is making the difference. I aint too worried about it I figure if I pay the price they want for oil and my electric bill it would probably end up being the same anyways.

We had the heat pump running last night......the wood we have right now just will not burn...hubby has the flu and was freezing, chills, and I really tired to get the fire going but ended up using the heat pump. I am getting over the flu myself and too tired to stay up all night trying to keep the wood burning......I guess I can look forward to a huge eletric bill....I love my woodstove...I am trying to get some better wood to burn from a friend today so we can burn/heat with it tonight untill hubby is better and can go get us better wood....Can anyone help me with getting better wood for a night or too?
Hubby also has a very bad back, he will have surgery soon, in process of setting that up now thru the doctors..it has been a crazy winter for us....

Ours was in the 700's. Can't wait to get it upgraded (soon).
