Jersey is mostly on a pay as you go type system for electricity, ours is normally about £60 a month

Pretty much tripled when my brother was growing though :roll: He was putting £20 every couple of days to cover what he was using :lol:

You wood go crazy in my house. One of our televisions are usually on all the time. We have 3 ceiling fans, and 2 fans in the garage running 24/7. This time of year our central air hardly ever kicks off, my PC never gets shut off, and every night we usually leave all 5 outside lights on.

Our bills are usually around $120, not sure how that wood weight out in your currency thou.

£904 sounds right? Are you serious? Something is wrong if you are paying that for electric in a month. Should only be around £75 odd

I'm trying to figure this out. Best I an tell,
£904.37 wood convert to $1,660.42? Can that be right?

If thats the case my electric bill for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house wood run around £65.36.
