I live in Chase, back by Bay Country, and I’ve never felt safer. I lived in Rosedale for 20 years and would not recommend it.

If the house passed the home buying inspection (assuming the inspected was competent) I wouldn't worry about it. If you are still concerned hirer another inspector to inspect the plumping and electrical or anything else that concerns you. No need to get the government involved in your life for something you didn't do. I have had inspections for post construction permit approvals, it can get expensive.

I dig it.

Wait people still watch that?

My supplier is bge. My kilowatts have increased a bit but I could get a detailed view of the increase. On bge website it just shows a bar graph by month. Where is the graph that you were talking about where it breaks it down by hour?

Look at Hyde Park. It's pretty secluded and quiet.

You clearly came in aggressive that someone who has ties to over twenty nominations in the past didn’t get a nom this time. And now you just use troll bait? Bye.

Rosedale has its own problems.

Yea, everybody’s went up. Gas is 0.97 cents per unit, last year it was roughly 0.31 cents. Electrics gone up too. You’d want to look at the back of your bill and the graph online of your usage. The online one can show hour by hour. If your usage goes up when the temp starts to dip, then you can assume it’s your heat working to keep the place warm. Especially if you’re all electric. In general, heat pumps are great until about 30 degrees or so, after that it turns into a massive space heater that sucks electric. So the couple cold days and nights at Christmas would’ve really impacted the bill. Emergency heat in your furnace can use 14 kWh each hour.

The whole city and county are run down. I transplanted here 8 years ago and was taken back by how run down and dirty the city is. There are the wealthy bubbles but I can't afford to live in those lol. I'm guessing you can't either or else you would be looking there. Essex and middle river are working class so you won't find anything ritzy or hip. I used to live in Remington which has become very hip but I sure don't miss the muggings and carjackings there. I agree about the liquor stores but that's seen all over the city and county. Essex and middle river are also big so there's variation within them. I got a lot of bang for my buck out here for my house and property. I love my neighbors. And we have some nice things to do out here too. AMA if you want to know more. Edit: safety, forgot to address that. I feel safer here than I did in Remington. We get petty criminals, car door checkers, lawn mower thieves. But I feel safe walking around the neighborhood, taking my kids for bike rides. We have a lot of joggers and walkers. I never saw that in Remington.

Who is your supplier? Also have to look at the numbers on the back, not just the price. If your kilowatt hours didn’t change much, then your supplier is charging you more. If your kilowatt hours went up, then you want to look at when. There’s a graph online that can show hour by hour, day by day. If it went up when it got colder outside, that’s most likely due to your heat trying to keep up.

BGE isn’t owned by constellation anymore. They’ve split into two separate companies. BGE still has to apply for rate hikes through the PSC. There are still public hearings on each one of them.

Gas went up triple since last January. This is mainly because of the global shortage on natural gas. Good luck finding a better price for natural gas right now. Cold snap at Christmas is the coldest nights we’ve had in a few years. It’s written in plain English on your bill every month

Yes!! 2 people in a row home that we keep at 62°. Normally $80 a month and was $143. Using the my usage calculator I can see that we used the same amount of electricity this bill ($41) but way more gas. Interestingly, that few day cold snap we had in early December cost $35. Guessing between the cold snap and the few extra days on billing cycle and price increasing that’s why. Really sucks. Turning my thermostat to 60° I guess.

1800-2000ish sf single family home, BGE bill last month was $425 thanks to the Christmas cold snap. Usually in the $300-350 range. Natural gas air furnace, dryer and water heater and electric everything else (2 adults 2 preteens)

Thermostat 71F

1400

Yes! I came here to ask this exact question! Usually my bill is $50 but my most recent bill is $130! I have my place at 64 degrees and my electric use stays around $25 but the electric supplier charge has jumped from $21 to $81 on my most recent bill.

It just seems like everything’s a little rundown. And maybe it’s just the environment I grew up in talking, but I’ve never lived near like 3 liquor stores and dive bars. Not saying that’s all of Essex, but the houses I looked at were like that. I feel like I have unrealistic expectations though perhaps

I live in Essex and can't imagine why you feel it's unsafe. Edit: downvotes really?

Actually? That’s another place I feel unsure about usually…but maybe I’m just being too harsh

Look at rosedale

This bill cycle was also 4 or 5 days longer than average for whatever reason, so that added to it
