How much is your electric bill?

trovalta_s

When I was in Austin my electric bill was around $90 to $130 dollars, and this was with roomates. After I moved to Houston, my electric bill climbed to $170 all the way to $220 or so per month.

The difference as far as I can tell. Austin had a community owned electric utility. In Houston, you have the corporate owned Reliant.

Could this be the reason or does it also have to do with deregulation of the power industry (which led to the Enron disaster)?
What I have noticed about my reliant bill is this thing called "fuel cost" or something with the word fuel. That's almost half the cost there.

I don't remember ever seeing something similar with the Austin utility.

Answer
Mine is $113 per month year around. I also have electric heat but my home isn't even quite 1000 square feet. I'm switching to the light bulbs that are supposed to last for years and I got new windows and doors. I'm curious to see if this helps. I'm also thinking of putting in a wood burning fireplace but they can also cause a big heat loss if not in use.

Our power goes off what seems to me to be rather frequently which has resulted in a destroyed TV, an entire refrigerator/freezer of lost food, and much aggravation. Does anyone else have that problem in their town?

electric fireplaces 1000 square feet image

Athena

We have a 2 story office building. The office space on top is currently not being used. The bottom office is long & narrow. It is approximately 1000 square feet with 14 foot ceilings. It is brick on the two longest sides (top to bottom) with the front wall totally being glass (windows). The back wall is brick and glass as well. There are 2 ceiling fans we use to keep the heat from totally going upstairs.
It currently heats with a propane furnace but when it gets really cold we spend about 300 on propane every two weeks to heat it. Not an option any more. I sure like the way the heat fills the whole place but we simply can't afford it.
I wanted to put a wood stove in but the stove pipe alone is over $1000 . We have offices on both sides of us so the stove pipe has to go up 2 stories and that is also not an option. Neither is a pellet stove.
I am looking at possibly getting an Edenpure Gen 4 or one of those Amish stoves. Those are really the only ones I have heard of so I am open if you have other ideas. I would like suggestions as to what you think might work in this space to heat it as well as your own experiences.

Thank you in advance for your replies.
Anyone?
Thank you PA for your thoughtful detailed answer. I wasn't looking for a free lunch just a solution that wouldn't eat MY lunch every month...*smile* Thanks again

Answer
I have friends with both - and like them........but there's no such thing as a free lunch. Their comments:

the Edenpure is safe around kids & pets because the cabinet stays cool . . . . . but no way does it heat an entire house - and doubt if it would evenly heat the space you describe. The Edenpure uses quartz infra-red tubes to heat a copper plate: you aren't getting the heat directly from the tubes - heating the copper plate makes it a steadier heat as the tubes cycle on and off. My friend says that it's nice for a room - does no good in heating adjacent rooms in his small house.

I believe the "Amish fireplace" units also use quartz heating tubes, but have a more powerful fan to distribute the air over a greater area.

Most plug-in electric space heaters draw 1500 watts @ 110 volts when on - - - I think that's the same consumption of the Edenpure and "fireplace". A disadvantage of quartz infra-red tube heaters is that the tubes burnout just like light bulbs . . . . they cost from $30 to $45 each and I believe the heaters have 3 or 4 of them. I understand that it's quite a job to disassemble the Edenpure to replace the tubes.

Google Edenpure and "Amish Fireplace" "reviews" and "complaints" and you'll find posts by both satisfied and dissatisfied buyers.

Consumer Reports tested electric heaters a couple years ago: they didn't think much of either (and many others) . . . on their recommendation we got Honeywell baseboard heaters at about $65 each and are very satisfied with them.......maybe the info is still available at the CR website or BUying Guide.

How much do you think my house is worth?

Yomas

My house is in Hayden, Idaho in a very desirable neighborhood. It was built in 1977, and we payed around 150,000 for it. Then we put around 210,000 in to it, totally remodeling it. It is 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, with two of the bedrooms being master sweets. It is 3,400 square feet on a beautiful acre with great landscaping, a 1000 square foot deck, a 2 story tree house, a road leading to the back, rv parking, a hot tub, and a storage barn. It has great curb appeal, newly painted (white with black shutters), 2 stories with a nice front porch. The family room is about 17 - 17 square feet and very open with a stone fireplace to the ceiling. The kitchen is very large with granite counters, and there are wood floors the whole way through. 2 bedrooms down, 4 up. The master is way bigger than most masters, with wood walls and ceiling with carpet, and also has a stone electric fireplace. The living room is huge and beautiful, with wood ceiling, yellow walls, and so much sun coming through. Its about 25 - 30 ft, and is used as a music room (for harp and piano). The stairs are average, and the upstairs rooms average about 14 by 15 feet each, other than the master which is large. All the bathrooms have marble, and one is Greek looking with a stone shower. There is an intercom, a movie closet, a large laundry room with an attic down the hallway to the master, only a 2 car garage but lots of parking, but the inside can be dark sometimes if all the lights are off, but all in all it is great. We listed it at 675,000 and have gone down to 595,000. Realitors think it should be about 625000. What is your opinion.

Answer
Do you honestly think that random strangers on the Internet are somehow going to be able to evaluate your property better than the Realtors who actually saw it? If their opinion is that it's worth $625K, then that's what it's worth.
