Where I live, electric bills have declined. Not risen. The cost of natural gas, which is often used to generate electricity, has dropped dramatically. At the condo building where I live our natural gas costs have dropped 25% this year compared to last. Electric is down about 15%.

11.60 per kwh in Texas? At least in Dallas that is a bit high. Easy enough to get it for around .08-.09
i think it's an average, because mine was like a penny off too it also probably varies by provider and such so like here in TN the service provider charges less in this part of TN but then somewhere else charges 3 cent more...but the average is still 9 cents and some change but it's really 8 cents and some change i looked hours ago don't remember the rates they said for the state lol...it's almost .09 per kwh though in my area
I'm going to have to try that. My mother's water/electric is $286 every two months.
AND SHE DOESN'T EVEN LIVE THERE!!!!!!!!!!
Is the water heater turned off?
Otherwise, might want to think about a tankless water heater. My parents have one, lowered their bill qutie a bit - that and the new hot tub was about 400 bucks a month less to heat.
But yeah, heating is very energy intensive - it takes twice as much energy to increase the temperature 1 degree than it does to decrease the temperature 1 degree.
Which reminds me, people talk about energy independence - do they not realize the single easiest and cheapest way to achieve that is to use less energy? California has not increase its energy consumption even though our population has grown.
