My BGE (my areas gas and eletric supplier)Bill was 169 dollars this month and i this its kind of weird.....

Question

I just recieved my BGE bill and it is 169.00. I live in a 650sqft apartment and keep my thermastat on 78 degrees. Also i unsrew bulbs in my vanity and chandelier and always turn off lights/tv ect. Last month my bill was less(147.00) and i had 2 house guests for 2 weeks and i kept the thermastat on 70 while they were there.My neighbours have a next door neighbours have a larger apartment and a slider door and 5 people living in there and there's was only 105.00. I called BGE and they said that theres nothing they can do about it. I told them i would like to be there when the BGE tech reads the meter next so i can compare whats on my bill and what i read w/ the tech that day. But they said the tech comes anytime between 8-4, and i cant wait and look out the window for 8 hours. I asked her if they could give me a call on my cell phone when they arrive and she said they cannot. Please help me I am 22 live on my own and have a rediculous BGE bill that i wont be able to pay by the due date because i was not expecting it to be that high at all.

Answer 1

sorry to hear that but in this case there's is nothing to do but call and ask for a flexible plan that the payments are the same each month usually your bill will explain this on your bill which could mean your payments cheaper. that could be why your neighbours have a cheaper payment. half the time we cant pay our full bill either we live in a small place too and electric bill is high but everywhere is different and you will just have to suck it up and deal with it beacuase you wont be able to do anything about it really.
