How many kWh do you use in the summer?

[Eggmanmja01]

2 unit , 2 story with roughly 3000 sq ft is $280 with Walton EMC. AC set at 72

We have a 2,685 sq ft 2 story with two units and our bill is usually around $250 with the downstairs set on 72 and the upstairs set on 74. $600 seems mighty high.

And what is the square footage of your house?
Who is your electric company?

Seems like every summer Georgia Power increases their rates. This month’s bill is just a few dollars short of $600 for a 1500 sq. ft. house. We had our AC serviced and recharged, loose fill insulation installed in the attic. All to try and combat these wildly inappropriate power bills. Our AC runs at max 5 hours a day and we’ve resorted to 80 degrees and the bill just goes higher and higher. I shouldn’t be paying $600 to live like I’m in a ******* terrarium.

Have no choice because Georgia Power is the monopoly in the area.

After complaining to the Public Service Commision I’m now seeing the line items that on top of their per kWh charge, there’s an additional daily charge, fuel charge and apparently I’m paying per kWh to build their nuclear plant? If those ****ing charges were removed, my bill would be around $250. THEY HIDE THESE LINE ITEMS ON YOUR BILL BY DEFAULT. You literally have to complain to have them reveal what they are actually charging you for.

This is just me ranting, because although we can afford $600 per month, we definitely don’t want to be paying for fuel? and to build a nuclear facility? to a company that I’m sure has record profits and will never pass the savings on to its customers once these facilities go online.

**** Georgia Power and **** their stupid commercials that say “we are working hard to bring clean AFFORDABLE energy to Georgia.” Straight up lies.

$600 is WAY to much for your square footage and claimed usage! Your not running a pool pump 24/7 or a growing a field of weed or something else you are forgetting about..!?

In all of the 3 houses I have lived in, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a power bill in the summer for $156.00 my entire life. Gas bill yes, power never!

Just remember guys, almost all your Power Companies get their Power from Ga. Power. It's supply in demand depending on where in Ga. you live.
My house is 1600 square feet, 525 garage, 2 10 x 16 buildings, a pole barn, and a inground swimming pool, this month my power bill was $224.00.

Georgia Power Company (GPC), an investor-owned electric utility, is fully regulated by the Commission. Currently GPC serves approximately 2.7 million customers in 155 of Georgia's 159 counties.

2500sf. 2 units both installed in 94..keep on working. upstairs stays on 85 and downstairs is set on 80. I have a window unit in basement where I sleep on 70.
South of atlanta and enough trees to shade most of the roof several hours a day. about $200-250. You must have some phantom draw somewhere...

Nope, aside from the dehumidifier, standard stuff connected to power.

Please look at your bill and let me know what your total kWh you used for all of that and let me know.
