What can I expect to pay for electric in Manhattan (138th & Amsterdam)?

Question

Heat & Water is included in my rent, but electric isn't. Just so I can figure out how much money I'll need, can anyone give me an estimate of what it might cost?

Answer 1

depending on how often u use your toys, about 80 bucks...

Answer 2

$75 should be in the ballpark, but you can go less if you're conservative.

Answer 3

We can't answer this without more info.

How big is the apartment?

Is there air conditioning?

Do you leave a large television running all the time?

Will you leave the basic coal-fired Con Ed in place, or sign up for green sourcing?

Answer 4

It does not make a difference where you live in nyc, but it does depend how big your apartment is. I have a 2 bedroom and con ed is no more then $75.00 per month. There was recently a  22% increase so it will probably be more soon. Con ed (thats who you pay your electric to in NY) has level billing, thats when they give you a set price to pay every month.
