Around $63 for each month of June and July in Cburg.

Before the rate increase last year it was generally about $10 less. Highest Winter bill ($296) was for December 2022 when we had the big cold snap around Christmas. We have an electric heat pump for heating and cooling.

MrBayAreaHokie • 08/14/23 09:13 PM ET
Remember, the cost of electric is only going up since we're closing down...
EDGEMAN • 08/14/23 08:11 PM ET
We should put filters in the auto exhaust system to trap the carbon. Then
IB4TECH • 08/14/23 09:05 PM ET
