$200 on average but if I am on the welders like a mad man it will jump up to almost $300. Thats for a 1800sqft house and the 1000sqft shop.

starting to warm up very slowly now...march spoiled us.. :shock:

My power bill use to average $125. (the only reason it's that high is because of june, july and august. If not for those hot months it would have avearge well under $100.
I insulated my attic last year and with the mild weather I bet this year will average less than $100.

My house is small at only 1,400sf (NO shade) and it's just me and the dog so that helps a bunch too.

BJ. I'll just sleep in the garage if it's ok with you! :)

I think it has a lot to do with the eletric supplier. EX; here in La. my last light bill was $32.53, that's 1440 sq ft well insulated, with 2 tv's computer, electric dryer, everything else on gas. The shop bill was $20.19, i keep a ceiling fan in the engine room running 24/7 to keep the moister out, no welding last month, high last yr was $130.00 That's Entery supplier. By contrast my house in Ms. has Tallahatchie valley power, everything turned off except a street lite ($5.00) ant the refrigerator, one nite lite and a 13 watt porch lite. That bill last month was over $36.00, and in the summer it's well over $200.00 a month if i'm staying up there, it's 1840 sq ft., and i too live alone, Go figure :?: I can recall $350.00 a month in phx. 20 yrs ago in the summer with 1800 sq.ft.
