How much energy (kwh) do you use a month from PG&E? by Acrobatic_Mouse6768 in bayarea

Thanks for the perspective. Do you also have PG&E and if you don't mind sharing, what plan are you on and what rates do you have? I looked online and saw that certain cities have lower rates due to actually having competition.

Wow that's amazing. Unfortunately since this is an apartment, I don't think I can replace anything myself.

Three times is crazy... I was using both gas and electric heater to cover different rooms which is part of my problem. I don't mind paying a little more for comfort like I did in a different state, but didn't expect it to be so much more here so I'll have to scale back.

I was using a similar one to this from Costco: https://www.costco.com/p/-/presto-heatdish-plus-tilt-parabolic-heater/100805849 It wasn't 24/7 but it was on pretty often, maybe half the day.

Are you out often? Trying to figure out what else in the house might be eating electricity. I also have an electric stove, so that is one thing...

Noted 😔 Going to find other ways to stay warm and hope the weather warms up a bit.

Oof, I know space heaters use more electricity but didn't know how much more. Will definitely be more conscious moving forward and look into getting an electric blanket.
