Yeah my bill last month was 50% more than the same period last year, and it's been a mild winter.

Axe to Grind on Shrewsbury street... there is no second place.

thanks!

No, we haven't been since it was sold. The article that reported the sale mentioned the new owners intended to keep things the same, even keeping the original staff. Are there any details you can share?

"Roots" in Leominster. They're on Airport Road, not far from Rte 2

This entire thread could be a sociology study. 100 Redditors think X is the best barber in Worcester. 100 non-Redditors aren't here to even read the question. But actually, my favorite barber isn't on here and that means shorter waits for me.

Thank you for all the info! Based on the new meter's readings over the last almost 48 hours, I do think we were being charged for WAY more than we used. I'm still going to talk to my husband about the sensor though. We might wait to see how the next full month with the new meter goes, but this could come in handy.

Awesome thank you! I heard O’Connor’s changed ownership or management or something and I haven’t been hearing good things about it. Have you been since the change?

Yea they do I've seen the upstairs part reserved before.

Great! Thank you!

Good to know, thank you! We are trying to keep it in Worcester, since we have more people east of the city than west.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I am not sure if you can get them locally, I bought mine from Amazon.

I am willing to bet that there are cheaper monitors out there. The one I use monitors all power in, but also every circuit. So when my bill is 300$, I can see the space heater cost me x$ and my laundry dryer cost me y$.

A handy person could install this themselves, but if you are not handy or don't have the time you would need an electrician. Think around 300$ for the best device and 1 hour of an electrician's time.

If you were to buy the simplest monitor (only main power), it is a bit cheaper and easier to install. Link here. So only around 90$ assuming you DIY.

I was CONVINCED there was a problem with my meter, which is why I bought the system. It turns out I just had some appliances that used WAY more than I expected, and I had some bad habits with turning things off.

I guess since I mentioned DIY, if you are not comfortable don't even try. Electricity is dangerous and no one wants to find your corpse in the basement next to the panel.

I could talk for days about the cost of electricity in this state. I grew up in PA, and we are paying 300% more than my friends back in Pittsburgh.

Yeah- ask a friend for sure!

lloyd’s limousine service

Arsmby Abbey & O'Connor's have rooms that can be rented.

Wormtown and Bay State both do. We booked wormtown for an event and it was a great experience.

Treehouse does private events now, too. Not sure the details, but I remember reading about it on their website.

Thanks!

redemption rock i believe

No, I can't qualify for LIHEAP and that's fine. I'm just shocked at the size of my bill.

I believe wormtown has one.

Eversource for both delivery and supply.
