NWR: LIPA Bills $$$

For those who pay their LIPA bills...

What is your average bill amount?

I own a 1 br co-op and the avg. bill was usually 48-60 a month.

This past month is was $168

Am I nuts or is this average for ppl?? (hope not!)

I understand air-conditioners up the bill but JEEEZEE! One is usually on when we sleep..that all!

So....what's your average?

Re: NWR: LIPA Bills $$$

sadly its probably not wrong. between the AC and the recent rate hikes (22% in the city, not sure on LI) my bill went up $50 last month and will prob. jump again in August

You have to watch Lipa... They only check your meter every other month. So the other month they estimate your bill. Mine is always more when they estimate especially during the summer. That might be it. and if it is that you can call in your meter reading and they will send you a revised bill. I have a 3-4 bedroom house and my bill is usually 125 per mth.

I live in a 1 bedroom co-op and our bill was $46 this month. They do estimate. That happened to us recently and he hit the roof.

We live in a 1 BR apt and it is usually about $130 in the winter and close to $200 in the summer (with 3 AC's running). We're also over my parents garage so the electricity for that is included in our bill. (It's a separate building from their house with it's own electrical connection)
