Re: What doyou pay for electricity? [quote=Arie;2085554]Katrina,
Where about in upstate NY do you live? I'm in East Greenbush (12144) and while I usually complain about National Grid (AKA National Greed), our bills are pretty constant. During the winter, keeping our 1500 sqf house at 68, we average 125. During the summer, with one window air conditioner and 3 window fans, we average 100. I just did a yahoo search and you are about 5 hrs away from me. Close to Albany right? I am about 2 hours below buffalo, on the PA line.
My dad, on the other hand, is on some 'alternative program' through a different company. His first few bills were good, and now they're up to 300+ a month! He signed a contract and can't get out now. (What a shock). I remember the "alternative programs" and I will never do one again. I actually got out of it, because I threatened to turn them into the BBB. After I did that, there was a news segment. They do offer the "fixed rate" but you know what, so does RGE, and their fixed rate is a lot lower than their "fixed rate"
Is there a way you can look into other situations? Do you by chance qualify for HEAP? There are programs out there (in my area anyway) that might help. Let me know and I'll dig for some info for you. I do get heap help when I need it. I try to pay for it myself first. If I can't then I ask heap for help, But I usually use the heap for the gas.
