Electric is about $75/month, less in the winter and more in the summer since we use our central air. Trash we pay by the bag, special bags sold in stores by the city, $7.50 for 5 bags, recycling is free. Our landlord has to pay the water. Our place is under 1,000 sq ft. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-in-utilities#post-498071 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 12:40:37 +0000 PurplePumps 498071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>~3000 sf house, but 3 spare bedrooms are closed off. We only have electricity and heating oil bill. (No gas and we have well water)<br /> Electricity: ~80 normally. ~140-180 if the AC is running in the summer.<br /> Oil heating last year: ~ 2800 for winter, so avg 233/month over the year.<br /> This year we installed a wood stove and spend 1k on wood which should last the season. We may have to buy another 250 of wood.<br /> Oil for hot water, probably about $30/month </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-in-utilities#post-498049 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 12:31:45 +0000 Bao 498049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in a small apartment, so some utilities are covered, and the ones we do pay are not a lot, since we have such a small space. How much do you pay in utilities per month? How big is your house/apartment? </p>
