My bill runs $30-60 a month and my place is a bit less than half the size of yours. The bill ran much higher, but I put on an insulated tin roof and a covered front porch, and did a LOT of doodling around inside, including recaulking, putting in energy efficient bulbs, switching how I cook, etc.

In a place your size, $100-150 wouldn't necessarily seem out of the ordinary to me (although I wouldn't be too happy!!), but $275? Something is wrong.

You know, in addition to everything else, I switched to an non-electric coffee maker a few months ago and saw a pretty huge decrease in my bill. :eek:

Of course, I drink coffee day in and day out. :rolleyes: But I use an insulated electric tea kettle to heat the water and the new coffee maker is an old porcelein Melitta. I think that whopped off another $5/mo. at least.

BTW, I'm in an electric coop and they're great. It really depends!
