Electricity Bill (Fort Worth: apartment complex, appliances, credit)

[derekah.wilkerson]

I'm moving into a apartment about 678 sq. Looking for the best energy company in the Fort Worth area. I'm wondering on average how much is electricity bill every month 9.0 kWh. I've been looking at bounce energy and they seem reasonable. Any suggestions?

Good luck on your move, I've heard pretty good things about Bounce, but they have some pretty divisive online reviews especially regarding their customer support, but then again, typically only people who've had bad experiences will talk about their electric company on Yelp.

Regard price I would just check out Power To Choose | Home, yeah their not the best and are stuffed with companies offering fake rates, but it's still pretty useful.

Are you looking into a postpaid plan or a prepaid one?

Your energy use will depend on how old your apartment is, how old the AC unit is, where the apartment is situated (surrounding units on more sides is better, no south facing), how low you set the temp, and what kind of additional demand you use (i.e. high energy computer and/or TV can use a ton of electricity and then dump all that heat right back on the AC's back).

Apartment complex or energy provider might be able to give you some historical bills for the unit?

Also electricity will be much higher if you have electric heat.

The apartments I lived in were all electric, and the bill was always much higher than I would expect.

I had a plan with Gexa Energy where if you used under 1000kWh/mo, you'd get a $30 credit. It worked out great October - April. My bills were usually $40-60. Summer bills were $80-130.

My apartment was built in the 80s and had the original 1980s appliances. The AC unit looked to be a decade or two old. Not very energy efficient at all!

Very similar, I renew with Gexa every year.

I am on a plan where if you use a certain level of energy, you get a 20 dollar rebate, if you are at a certain level you get a 30 dollar rebate.

My bill for last month was $30, because I used 500kwh right on the nose.

I am looking forward to sub $100 dollar Electric bills when it is 100 degrees outside this summer because I picked the right plan.
