How much is your electricity bill?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been on the phone to the leccy company and it seems I missed a payment which takes my total to £260 which is still bad but not as bad.

The crew and I pitched to get you this.

It’ll be dropped on your house by Dragon Air sometime later tonight.

I'm not on a token/prepayment meter. I pay by direct debit. There's no standing charge. First 62.00 kWH @53.688P, next 1108.00 kWh @32.592p

Maybe have the electric company come by and do a check to see if something is wrong?
On the news I saw where one family had outrageous bills and there was something wrong with their meter.

I've seen that with high water bills, as the result of leaks.

This woman was billed $6200 for a faulty toilet.

I can also get a free ride to any doctors appointments but I don’t use it.
Years ago when my car was broken down it came in handy.
I pay nothing for medical bills or medicine.

I'm jelly as helly.

That's great news for you, though.

Our doctors are always free here, but we have to pay for prescriptions until age 65, as well as non-doctor services like psychologists, massage therapy, osteopathy, social workers, OT, PT, Speech Therapy, etc.

I pay $500 / month for coverage of these expenses for myself and my daughter. It used to be free from my employer but now that I'm on LTD I have to pay out of pocket. The coverage isn't perfect because we have maximums allowable for each service and the rest is on us. Her medicine alone would be over $500 / month so it's a good thing we can have this insurance, although paying $500 for it totally sucks arse. The price has gone up about 10% every year, too.

I was eligible for free wheelchair transit (door to door) after my first stroke but it was such a horribly-run program it took hours just to do a five minute drive, and then hours home again.

The only thing I get is I'm allowed a companion to have free admission to some venues (non-medical). I have a wheelchair parking permit, and I don't have to pay income tax. It kinda sucks not paying income tax because that also means I'm not ever eligible for tax refunds. When I was working I got huge refunds every year but that will never happen again.


Correction: Nope. Just remembered the wheelchair transit thing cost $5 each way.

My last electricity bill was AU$300 for 3 months (electricity is billed quarterly here), which is higher than usual for my flat (usually it's ~$240 for me). But the state government gave a $175 subsidy to all households on their power bills, to combat cost of living increases, so I ended up only paying $125. Not that I mind cheap electricity, but I do wonder how the state government plans on paying for such a large subsidy program, especially with the Olympics coming up in 9 years.

Mine is between $60 and $110, depending on how often I use the air-conditioner.

I noticed, in Canada, that the electricity bill is called the "hydro" bill.
