we once had a bill of $15...and we only had $1.25 of electricity charges...the rest was delivery fee.. grand eh? :P

Hookup

My last two bills (4 months) $750 and $825 each.

I need to find a way to lower.  But Hot-Tub is on 24x7, and closed-loop pumps at 700watts also 24x7 and a skimmer pump, 340watts also 24x7 ...  The that's somewhere over 1500watts (guesstimate) running 24x7.

Then I have all of the things that do not run 24x7 like the AC/Heater/Fridge/Freezer/Lights/Fishtank lights/etc... this crap is killing me.  And with my tank in a million pieces, I'm seeing a $400/month savings by just selling it off and shutting it down...
