Electric Bill cost !

[bigdog]

I just open my Eversource electric bill and was shocked !
$160 for one month, are you serious !

Some facts:
House is 2200sf
Gas Furnace and gas hot water tank powered by electric.
Electric kitchen stove
Normal use of lights and appliances

I used 780 kwh for the month, and have North American Power&Gas as my Supplier at .09 per kwh.
Eversource rate per kwh is fixed, and same as everyone else.

FYI... I'm a new year-round homeowner in the Lakes region since June this year. Previously, I owned a town-house in Gilford, but only used every 3 weeks during the winter, but full time during the Summers.
At Mass. house about same size as NH house and my electric bill was never over $100.

Two questions:
1. Is .09 per kwh the average others are paying, as I did some shopping around to get that rate from North American P&G.

2. Does 780 kwh for one month seem excessive, as it's only myself and my wife living at the house.


Thoughts and suggestions to reduce costs.

Thanks,
Bigdog
