ConEd Energy expenditures for electric heat apts?
Hi all,
I live in a 3 bedroom in BK that uses electric heat. We just got hit with a coned bill that is $1600 for 4600 kwh of electricity used // ~146 kwh/day. \
We use the thermostat, but we don't turn it on and off and we've kept it at 66 degrees this entire month. We've insulated all of the windows in our house.
I've lived in NYC my entire life, but admittedly been on radiators up until last spring when I moved here. I'm used to 6 khw/day not 144 -- I can't imagine using more than a 2400% increase in energy compared to my previous places. It's not like we're constantly using the electric stove.
We tried to check out the daily expenditure on the app to try to investigate, but it's currently down.
What are y'all's usual energy expenditures with electric heat? If y'all have 100+kwh what does that look like in your apartment?
