Our home has been a vacation home for over 25 years, so our PG&E bill has been about $120 a month. We recently moved in to live there 3-4 days a week and our bill (electric only) has skyrocketed to about $500 a month. This is with changing all our lights to cfl's, shutting off all appliances when not in use, and only running one TV at a time. The only other electrical thing is the heating system in which only the top floor heaters are running (we only run the downstairs if we have guests). I can't believe that increase in home usage would bloat our bill out that far.
