I’d definitely look into insulation or alternative suppliers or something to help make your home energy efficient because for two people that seems like a lot and I abused my electric heat 2 years back and had so many things running

No one "blames" the gun. We don't "blame" the car for automotive deaths. We regulate automobile manufacturers, enforce the rules of the road, and license drivers.

Yes, it’s the electric heat and not enough insulation. We do have Eversource as our supplier but I think the first two are the biggest reasons.

$146.24, 2100 square feet 2 people, baseboard heat fueled by oil. 433 total kWh.
We put a lot of effort into making our home as energy efficient (electricity and oil) this year and I think its paying off. Obviously, the warm winter is helping.

Yeah at this point my resolve is to have the buyer pay for it. I don’t think I could sleep at night if I forced myself to get the house

Eversource supply and Eversource delivery, I presume? BIG jump in January. No idea why Eversource supply cost is so much higher than many suppliers listed on https://energizect.com/rate-board/compare-energy-supplier-rates (except that people pay it?).

You’re welcome. Also I just saw your post about solar and definitely $0.19/kWh is too much— buyers won’t like it either.
We passed on even looking at a home that had a PPA.

There are longer terms too, just set a reminder to shop around again a full two months before the rate expires. You can always go back to standard offer too.

12.99 for 18 months should be decent. Current Eversource rate is 24.17.

Yeah. There are rates as low as $0.10/kWh available now. Short term of 7 months. Would advise switching to another provider or back to standard offer during month 5 to be safe.
Are you on alternative supply?
