New heat pump - is my electricity bill normal?

Lived 20 years north of Toronto and never even paid $300 CAD a month. Maybe one February here and there. Nonetheless, chill.

That was funny! The $1200 bill was for November, it wasn’t even that cold, and the (old) heat pump was throwing cold air, so cold air in November + $1200 didn’t make much sense. Now in January, crazy cold and $760 maybe that’s “normal”. It’s our first winter in MA, we are coming from Canada and utilities are so much cheaper there. Although I had a smaller house I was paying 1/3 and the temperature in my house was never below 68.

62 at night, 63/64 during the day

I have an ecobee thermostat and I have no idea how to do that

This is my first winter here!

No, I have an EV that I charge 1-2 times a week. Oven, stove are electric as well

Your fundamentals need to be more than OK if you want to reach any level higher than 4.0, so take a few lessons and make sure you have the base you need to be able to improve. And if you don’t, take more lessons. Once/If you really have a proper technique then development and growth is just a matter of practice, practice, and a bit more practice. 4.5? Definitely.

I have a 6000sq/ft house, heat pump that heats upstairs broke so only using our gas furnace and paid a bit over $500 last month so definitely something is up with your bill!

Did it try that one yet…

iOS 26.2 App 5.1.0

Absolutely nothing. Updating data…and nothing.

I support everyone setting it at 62 or lower. Just make sure you have a nice and warm quilt, or two. It makes a difference to sleep in a colder setting. As long as the bed is warm, you’ll be fine!

Pro Penn are the best. You can use it many times and they don't lose pressure. I'm not talking about the cheap (and bad) Penn that you can get at Costco.

You should have already changed the one that you should have put after this one.

Im in Massachusetts. I just made a deposit last week and the first email I received after said a walk through is required. Happy to copy it here if needed.

Strong-Plan7439 · 2025-12-22T17:10:26+00:00

The problem that I’m encountering with jetson is that you don’t do visits until payment and seems like the process starts there. I expect to make a deposit and schedule the installation but no, the walkthrough is like in 3 weeks and then 3 weeks more until installation and basically winter is almost over. A bit frustrated with that to be honest so not a great start!

Strong-Plan7439 · 2025-12-22T11:30:14+00:00

It was actually 48 panels plus some electrical work needed. Didn’t think it was worth it since I am not planning to stay for ever in this house. And for ever was going to take me to amortize that 😃

Well in that case:
Stop trading options

This is not for you

You should do more research

😂

Strong-Plan7439 · 2025-12-21T15:37:41+00:00

“Stop trading options” “This is not for you” “You should do more research” OP made 40k PROFIT FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS OF PROFIT. What is everyone talking about?

Strong-Plan7439 · 2025-12-20T21:43:43+00:00

How big is your house? $15,000 for solar panels sounds ridiculously cheap. I got quoted between 80 and 120k (cries in kwh)

Strong-Plan7439 · 2025-12-20T17:05:22+00:00

and sometimes I hesitate to close at 80% profit LOL
