holy crap you guys have high energy bills! We get pissed at the apartment when our bill is over $75. Even at the house, we keep a medium sized 2 story house at a pretty cool temp and the bill isn't usually over $100

Propane heat and an on demand water heater here.
Electric bill is $300 on average. Maybe less. Actually its about $300-350 in summer and about $200 in winter.
6 people, water well that seems like the pump is always running, dryer that never stops running and we cook a lot at home. I keep AC on 73. 2 units. Plus there's the garage AC that runs all the time you know to climatize the cars. Kids never turn a light off or a TV. They seem to think money grows on trees.
Anyway. We're it not for the measures I took it could be much much worse.
Our rates are about $0.09 per kilowatt.
Did I mention it's a 3700 sq.ft. house with a 1000 sq. ft. garage.

Supposedly the NW has cheap power. I looked at my bill to get a quick comparison. Get a load of this:
The following are per kwh:
Delivery chg: .0373
Supply energy chg .0532
Energy Conservation chg .0026
JC Boyle, Copco & Iron Gate Dam Removal
.00134
BPA Columbia River discount -.0053
After an hour of math, it looks like $0.089 per kwh.
But wait, there's more...
Plus Low income assistance flat rate of .85
Plus Basic Chg $9.00
Plus Public purpose .0300
Jebus, talk about a shell game!
OK, try it the easy way $53.69/474kw used = .1133/kwh
Crooks!

Our power comes from a natural gas power plant up the road and of course those prices are low now. Back when NG was selling at $12.00/mcuft they did charge us a fuel surcharge but that was short lived.

My wells about 90 ft. deep.
Just a well head out there and the tank and water softener are in a storage room that has outside access on the house. I will be building a well house shortly to protect the well. It froze when the house was being built because of the cold winter before last. Last winter never got below freezing so I lucked out. Probably won't get so lucky this winter. Need to get it protected. When I do I'm gonna put the well tank back out there in a shed that will also house the mower. And I'll be doing away with the softener and going to the new Aquasana filter system instead. Plumbing supplier is giving me a unit so i can see how it works and make recommendations to our customers.
