Our total kwh nearly hits 2,000 in Dec and Jan, falls to 700-800 in the spring. I think electricity is 6.5 cents per kwh IIRC. Heat pump is an old 1999 model - 9 seer, I think. Don’t know how anyone but Rush Limbaugh can afford power down there.
Here they get you with fuel charges, customer charges, gross receipts tax and a county utility tax. Example Feb. billing:
Customer Charge: 8.76
Energy Charge
First 1000 kwh 973 kwh @ 6.27500 61.06
Above 1000 kwh 0 kwh @ 7.36600 0
Fuel Charge
First 1000 kwh 973 kwh @ 4.86000 47.29
Above 1000 kwh 0 kwh @ 5.86000 0
Total Electric Cost 117.11
Gross Receipts Tax 3.00
County Utility Tax 2.31
Total Due: 122.42
Some months the fuel charges are higher than the electrical costs.
Count yourself lucky.
