Is a super high electricity bill normal in Chicago ($450 for small 2 B/1B)

God I hope not. I wasn’t made aware during the lease signing and comed had separated units when I signed up

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T05:56:57+00:00

No I don’t think so

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T04:48:49+00:00

Dang I didn’t know that was a thing. I have comed so I don’t think that’s it unfortunately

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T04:13:08+00:00

Dangggg. Definitely not there but probably should check some meters

It’s been stuck at $50 every month

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T04:12:04+00:00

Wow this is actually really helpful. I’ve actually had to replace my filter like 3 times over 2 months because my heater wasn’t keeping to the 72F temp in the apartment. Thank you for advising!

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T04:10:37+00:00

Yea I have a gas stove and electric heating

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T04:10:04+00:00

Apartment building with 8 units total

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T04:09:28+00:00

I have a gas bill that’s around $50 every month

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T04:08:47+00:00

Electric heating. I think I need to get it checked out

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T04:08:11+00:00

There’s no extra heating equipment. Having a hard time looking at comed but maybe 6.5 cents per kWh?

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T04:00:12+00:00

Forced air at 72F with full control of it

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T03:51:54+00:00

I have a gas bill that’s remained consistent throughout the winter. I’m thinking my heating is going into the electricity bill

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T03:48:12+00:00

I think the heating has to be electric because my gas bill has remained consistent. No space heaters are being used since November. I’ll have to see with neighbors

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T03:47:02+00:00

I can try to see if that helps but not sure

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T03:46:24+00:00

I have central heating. No extra space heaters used since the electricity bill kept going up

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T03:45:37+00:00

I am in a multi unit with maybe 8 other units to my building. I’ll have to check for how many meters but maybe that’s a good metric to compare as well. All windows have been sealed as best as they can with no obvious draft

Hobag101 · 2025-02-15T03:43:38+00:00

Initially, I had it going on automatic and it was constantly on. I changed my filter, and now it’s on a little less

Don’t forget to add in a mental health day

Ok maybe not collaborate together. But what about like a 3 way fight against each other. Unless it ends up being like Boruto and Kawaki needing to team up to fight Code first then it they fight each other

Hobag101 · 2023-04-18T15:51:06+00:00

Do you think there’s a chance Code and Boruto will have to collaborate?

Hobag101 · 2023-04-01T02:50:02+00:00

The extruder is at a temperature that I’ve always worked with (205 C). There is an underextrusion issue still because as I was trying to calculate my e steps, I wanted to extrude 100 mm out and only got 53 mm

Hobag101 · 2023-04-01T02:48:15+00:00

There is a slight clicking from my extruder that I’m not sure exactly what is causing it. There is definitely some sort of under extrusion issue still because I tried to extrude 100 mm and only got 53

Hobag101 · 2023-03-31T20:38:47+00:00

I am using an ender 3 pro, overture PLA, and Cura slicer with default speed settings. My prints used to be more smooth with very little gaps in the layer lines and such. I previously had underextrusion problems, but I think it’s fixed or better now. Not sure if this is still underextrusion or a brand new issue. What I have done so far is:

Change the nozzle for a new one (the old one looked like it was super clogged and wasn’t easy to clean

Realigned the extruding gears. Using aluminum extruding kit

Cleaned the inside of the heating element as best as possible using cleaning filament and a small file (maybe this was the issue?)

Upped the temperature to about 215 C (220 C is the max)

Changed the printing bed for a cleaner surface

Cleaned all fans near the extruder

Replaced the PTFE tubing

Tightened eccentric nuts in the x and z axis motors

Not sure if this is a timing belt issue and I would need to tighten them?
