Smitty's has a Lilac Point kitten that's being fostered locally.

Eagle tour, www.discoverthejames.com coolest way to spend an AM on the James. Capt. Mike is the man. Do it.

Thank you for posting this! I don’t live in your building but we’ve been having issues over here from as simple as replacing our alleyway lights to as big as major cracks in our ceilings due to a bad roof. They’ve had a few companies come and check the roof but Evernest never follows up so the whole process has to start again. And the person I was contacting in the fall all of a sudden quit and didn’t find out til I emailed her and someone else lol so that’s cool. I honestly didn’t know about reporting them to the city but now I do and I just did for the first time!

$70 to $180 😮‍💨

$60 to $145

Thank god for this thread. We moved over the summer, our new house is 2600 and has two old heat pumps, one for each story. I got a $350 bill and was terrified that was our new normal because of the age of the house or condition of the heat pumps. At least if it’s hitting that hard elsewhere too I know it WAS an outlier and I’m not gonna lose my ass on heating bills.

Doubled at our house too!

Sealed the deal and got my ticket!

Houses are better insulated. My MIL lives in upstate NY. Went to visit her last month. She lives in an old 2 br and I was expecting it to be drafty as hell but she’s got triple-glazed windows and something like R9000 batting in the walls.

Mine has steadily doubled over the last 2 months. Know it’s been cold but wasn’t prepared for a $200 bill.

Is cyber 4 already done?

Nottttttt quite. Local DJs occasionally play shows, but its nowhere near a nightclub. Though if electronica is what OP is looking for, Basic City, Canal Club also host events from time to time.

1400 sq ft, $300ish checking in here as well.

Sign up for their Budget billing and never have to worry about this again.

Please get an energy audit, that’s wild.

Because heat pumps don’t work when we had temps like we had at Christmas? My daily usage that day was 3x what it usually is this time of hmyear. That day it never got out of the twenties and was in the teens.

I switched over to eco bee. Love it. I discovered during the artic blast my AUX was set at 35 degrees. I quickly changed that to 25 but at least it gave me a screen notification that AUX had been running. The reports are enlightening and if you connect it with Dominion, they reward you. Got a check for $35 from them a few weeks ago for letting them change my thermostat during peak times.

Auxiliary or emergency heat is typically a setting in your thermostat. You can raise that threshold, so it won’t kick on or will kick on at a better temperature for your preference. All thermostats should have this if digital. Had to mess with this a lot when installing these due to high bill complaints.

Yes. Cheers!

Make sure you compare month to month KWH usage. You may have electric heat and used a lot in December during the cold snap.

Rvalution was cool when they did it years ago, now it’s Carmax lol

In colder places people typically have oil or gas heat, which (at least in my experience) works out to be cheaper. In New England my highest winter heating bill over the past 4 years was around $230, whereas my electric for last month here was nearly $350 for about the same square footage; I'm even keeping it colder here than I was up north.

In Philly we had a furnace that got oil deliveries usually once a season. Big ass behemoth in the basement. Used to scare me as a kid. For cooling we had window/wall AC units because central air wasn't very common with old brick rowhomes.
