Default How much is your electricity bill per month?

It would be interesting to see what kind of power usage everybody is using... please also include your province as well thanks!

I am in a condo and our bill averages $55 a month. I have thought about doing a breakdown like above (nice job!) but have not got around to it. Curious to see what others in condo's/apartments electricity costs are!

I would have to look at a bill to break it out but my Enmax Electricity/Water/Sewer bill is usually about $225/month.

from my enmax bill:

easymax 5 yr rate $64.96
all other charges $27.86

(total $92.82)

we live on the main floor of a house with 2 basement suites downstairs. one of the women is only home roughly 4 hours a night, the other woman comes/goes all day but the one who comes/goes leaves her lights on even when she's not home, leaves her bathroom fan on (drives me friggen mental cuz it echos throughout the back of the house), and there's a motion light with 2x75 watt floodlights that goes off at the smallest movement. a car drives by, the light goes on.

upstairs we have 2 pcs on 24-7, the tv on during the day, and the fish tank lights (something like 180watts combined). we pay 50% of the bill, the two women downstairs each pay 25%

I was able to make note of my historical electrical use and compare it to what happened when I turned the tank "On". The result....the tank costs me about $50 per month....over and above my usual household usage.
