My bill came this month for my house at $415, we have a pool but we dont use it and the filter is off (yes the pool is green, I dont care). Our house is around 2,500ft big, with 3 bedrooms 2 baths. We have lights on and off sometimes but mostly on during the night. We have 3 refrigerators. We 2, and 1 large industrial freezer, we have a large cutting machine that is used for about 20min once a week that pulls into the 220V socket. And the kitchen stove is used somewhat constantly during noon for an hour cooking large meals, and then during the night for a few minutes (that is 220V). I dont know much about electricity, what consumes the most out of what you heard. Me and my stepdad are having an argument about this and he says its the lightbulbs cause they’re always on during the night (none of them are fluorescent). I tell him it’s the AC which is pretty much on during the day at 75 degrees and the freezes. Please help PS: Im not sure if the house is well insulated or not.
Answer:
your stuff still takes energy when its plugged in and turned off… so when your stuff is offf unplugg it this means lights, television radios, computers and everything else for the most part alot of ppl put their computer on all the time and that drains alot of energy… your stepdad is right with the lights just turn them off if you arent using them dont use tehm in the day open a window … but ur also right dont use the ac so much use fans less energy
