Gas and Electric. How much do pay to take a bath?

[LonArcvarden]

Lot of people are paying $500-$1000 a month for their utilities.

Do you know how much each appliance costs you and compare one to another?
You run the water heater, the oven, the dryer, the heat/ac.
Have you ever looked into how much each of those costs?

If you're paying $.40 per KWH and your water heater takes an hour to reheat and runs at 4.4KW/h, you're paying almost $2 for that bath.
House of 4 people take a bath each day and that adds up to $240 on your bill.
You use the oven for an hour to bake dinner and you just spent $2 to cook it. Do it every day and that's another $60 added to your bill.

You just hit $300 a month by bathing and baking. You haven't even turned on the heater or done laundry...

All of my utilities come on one bill. During peak usage months I pay around 500 bucks. Water is around 30 dollars of it

I shaved a chunk off my bill after switching suppliers, and I used https://octopus-referral-code.co.uk to do it, which gave me a nice bit of credit to soften the blow. Made it easier to track what each appliance was costing too, since their usage breakdown is pretty clear. If your rates are creeping toward that 40-cent range, even a small switch like that can make those hot showers a little less painful on the wallet.

Interesting discussion! The cost of taking a bath depends on several factors, including whether your water is heated by gas or electricity, local utility rates, the size of your water heater, and how much hot water you use. In general, shorter showers or filling the tub with only the amount of water you need can help reduce energy costs. Comparing your local gas and electricity prices is the best way to determine which option is more economical in your area. learn more
