Damn I thought my $140 was bad.

Also surprised that I used 1,230 kWh between August and September and that's apparently still better than the average in the area (not as good as the "energy efficient" neighbors, though).

my house is damn near 5000 sq ft
i have a swimming pool and a family of four with two dogs
it was september, traditionally one of the hottest months in houston
i've been WFH the entire month, on multiple screens and a tv going all day every day
there's a lot of electricity being spent for sure, but it's never been THIS high

This happened to me once. They messed up the meter read and claimed I used an extra 2,000 kwh. I had a huge credit when they adjusted it the following month. It took me several months to use it all up.

oh.

maybe work out one of those budgeted plans with the electric company where you pay an average of your annual usage each month to avoid spikes like this.

I remember a guy who lived in a small apartment in a building and all of a sudden his electricity bill went through the roof because the landlord hooked up the hallway lights and all the common areas electricity to his counter. The landlord only ended up admitting what he did after being served court documents. It was messed up
The last apartment building I lived in, they did have a comment in the lease about how common area lighting would be on your electric bill, and I asked if it was the one light that's outside the door or if it was managed by floor or how that worked. Lady never did give me a good answer...

Damn

I have a 3200sqft house. Just my wife and I, but I program the thermostat to always be at 74 in the summer bumping it down to 68 at night cause we sleep better when it's cold

Highest bill we've had since moving in last August was $175 IIRC. This month was $104.

Our last house was 1700sqft and we'd regularly go over $250 a month but I think that shithole wasn't properly sealed, the windows were 50+ years old

i hope you find the issue that is causing your electric bill to skyrocket. i only pay 50$ a month. highest was 53$ but that was due to a transition in moving.

it's hard to quantify exactly
altogether it's a sizeable expense, and each individual cost does move the needle
it's a bump to electricity because you have to run the pump quite a bit, it's a bump to water usage because of evaporation etc, it's a bump to other expenses due to chemicals/equip maintenance or pool guy

What temperature are you keeping the house at? With the size of your house a single degree is going to make a difference. Consider keeping the house 1-2 degrees warmer?

Yeah, my house is much smaller than yours (2600) with only one A/C unit, but all the WFH (2 adults, 1 teen, 1 tween) has made for nightmare power bills. That plus all the ash in the pool clogging up the filter and making it work harder (CA). Our last bill was $333, which is high for us. I hate the A/C and get cold if it's lower than 82 in the house.
