NWR: apartment utilities

We have a 2 bedroom apt. Water and heat are included for us but we have to pay for gas, electric, and home phone.

Electric (Con Ed - in the non-air conditioner months) is usually around $75-$85 per month. During the summer though that could shoot up to $150 easily with the 2 air conditioners going.

Gas (National Grid) is usually no more than $20 per month.

Our home phone is around $60 per month (Verizon).

HTH!

thanks! thats very helpful

we have a one bedroom apartment in queens:

our cable/phone/internet bill from time warner cable is $168 (for the bare minimum - we used to have the $99 triple play but that offer is only good for 1 year)

Our ConEd electric bill is $70 in the winter and as high as $140 in the summer (but FH leaves his computer on all day everyday and also loves to leave lights on in the apartment)

our water and heat is included

HTH

We have a 3 bedroom, and only water is included. Heat and stove are electric, so we have no gas bill.
Our electric in the winter months is about $300, summer months should be less (we just moved in March)
Verizon Fios triple play is $90 a month

I have a 1 br and we pay gas, electric and cable

Our cable is 60 mo
Gas is very cheep about 20 Mo
and electric depends on the time of the year... in the winter it is about 50 mo nut it goes up a lot in the summer time to about 120 BC we have central air that is really old and eats up electric.

I just moved out of a 2 BR cottage and we were paying:

$250 a month for oil
$80 (sometimes less) a month for electric
$130 a month for cable/phone/internet

An apartment having gas or electric def makes a difference (in regards to the kitchen appliances) too!

This for a one bedroom. Have not lived in my apartment during the summer yet so I don't know how much it will shoot up with an AC.

Thank you all! I live with my parents now and before that i only lived in apartments wtih utilities included so this is a wakeup call on how much things cost.

We have a 2br in Long Island. If you can heat included thats your best bet. Also, do NOT do oil, so pricey.

I have our LIPA electric on balanced billing so t's $90/mth and can go lower if we use a lot less over the year. I hated a $10 and then getting a $110 or more bill. So balanced was easier.

We have a crazy cable/internet package through Verizon FiOS. FH loves tv. We have the fastest internet and every channel possible and pay around $160 bc we also have to pay for DVR, which now comes free...

Hope this helps!

Oh, bc we have oil our stove is electric... I don't love it. LOL... We are also on a mth to mth lease bc we weren't sure if we could do the expense of the oil in the winter. It was very expensive.

I'm SOOOO glad I moved into an apartment with all utilities included!!! Oil prices were getting INSANE- definitely don't miss it!!

we have a 1 bedroom apartment in North Babylon


They pay for water and heat


We're on the budget billing with LIPA and it's around $70 a month

Cablevision is around $165 with cable (gold package), internet and phone

im in levittown

I pay rent PLUS ALL utilities

landscaper- $100/mo

cable/internet/phone- $104/mo

oil $400 (5 months in summer, every 6 -8 weeks in winter)

water $10/quarter

electric- $50 winter $250/ mo in summer (AC)

PLUS groceries, etc.

it works out to be about $200 each extra per month on top of rent (for me and my roomate)

Granted, I am in DC and we had a 2 bedroom

But, our heat was electric, and our bills could be $35 for the normal months of $180 for winter/summer

Then cable/internet

In NY, we pay electric (heat is gas)...so I can let you know. We have a 1 bedroom.

Cable/internet with RCN is like $80 per month

We are in a 1 bedroom apt

LIPA averages around $40-$80 a month. More in the summer with the AC and in the Winter with the Xmas lights

Cable/internet/phone $130 a month


We don't pay for heat or hot water
