I’m moving from an apartment where all utilities were included to a new apartment where I will be responsible for electric. I have never had to pay an electricity bill so I have no idea what to expect but I’m trying to map out a budget. The apartment is small- 800 sq. ft and the heat can be controlled by room. The stove/oven is gas, but heat is electric. I’m very conservative and do not waste. I use overhead lights (not lamps) and I have strings of “fairy lights” strung around each room. I always turn out the lights when I leave a room but my laptop is plugged in 24/7. I charge my smart phone once a day and my Kindle once a month. I rarely use a microwave, mostly the stove or oven but of course the fridge will be running 24/7 and I do use a coffee maker every single morning. I do not have a TV or cable. Can anyone give me a rough idea of how much I’ll likely pay per month for electricity in an 800 sq ft apartment on my own? Thanks. Gas and water are included in the monthly rent – I’m just responsible for electric.
