Nicor Electric

No clue about them, but our town just switch to MC^2. July is our first month, but the savings appear to be in the 35% range with no contract/fine print shenanigans.

More to follow...

Looks like they're just getting in on the re-selling craze.
This is what worries me about these things.

AC went off this morning, a little worried what my ComEd bill after ask this heat.

Yeah we had ours set to 75 & at was still 80 in the house at times.

I just got our bill for our utility ( electric, water, refuse) YIPES dbl the usual amount.

I was just thinking about what mine was probably going to be. Then I realized that our electric meter usually gets read around the 1st of the month, so this month's bill won't even include most of the heat wave.

If everything seems to be going well, you've obviously overlooked something.

My secretary signed up earlier this year. Actual savings. Plus Nicor is certainly trustworthy in my books.

Jon I'm looking at the RTP program. Did you enroll in the AC option as well? Debating on that one and I just say they are charging a monthly fee (only .39 cents) now for the RTP program.

You mean the AC cycling thing? No we didn't do that so I can't give an opinion on it. I just use our programmable thermostat. You could try it and if it doesn't do anything, just drop it. I don't think there's a commitment or ETF.

We've done pretty well on the basic RTP though. We average $60-$70/mo savings over the last two years. Of course, I need to figure out why the f**k we're using 1900 kWh a month. Need to get a kW meter for my panel.

Yeah we were debating it because of the dogs in the house.

I did have my guy out to check the AC. He found that dog hair got in the coil and was blocked. So I'm worried what our bill will be. He said it was working overtime because of that. When we brush the dogs some fur is still in the yard we just need to do better at picking it up.

My ComEd bill just came $192......

I think we were $218, not sure cause I'm travelling right now. Then again we have kids, computers, xbox's so I'm not shocked.

Gonna put a freaking timer on the bathroom light switch. I swear to god!

My Blog. Because I desperately need the acknowledgement of others.

The Judd Family site!

I actually thought we were going to be above $200.

I have my 2 workstations running 24/7 and we really only use our 1TV. I hear you with the lights.

It'll be interesting to see what the RTP program does. No idea when it gets installed yet.

We were at $350 through Naperville Electric. Too many electronics running in the house constantly I think. And don't even talk about the lights . . .

No more corruption, lying and unremitting stupidity by Obama. Impeach the clueless, anti-business, socialist now.

reply to gdm

I'd take that and I'm sure your right because of the heat demand is higher so prices are as well.
