We have Economy 7 here - so far I haven't taken much advantage of it since the low period is midnight to 7am and we live in a flat and would hate to keep people awake with the noise of the washing machine! However we are moving to a house tomorrow so will definitely take advantage then!Gilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13039155678428883554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-80530605543825748272011-03-22T22:26:49.493-04:002011-03-22T22:26:49.493-04:00Interesting way of billing...we don't have it ...Interesting way of billing...we don't have it in Quebec. We either have equal payment billing, which is where they average out how much electricity they think you will use over the year and you pay an even amount every month or it's basically pay as you go and you bill varies depending on how much electricity you use. That it how I'm billed and my bill usually averages out at about 40$ every two months for my apartment, but I don't heat with electricity so that helps.Karinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07462017384530247677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-23528292492713514042011-03-22T21:35:34.681-04:002011-03-22T21:35:34.681-04:00I'm very careful with when we use our major ap...I'm very careful with when we use our major appliances...

I try to do all my laundry on the weekends. The bulk of our power is during off-peak hours but I could probably do better. <br /><br />It has gone up some. We used to be billed every 3 months, now we get a bill every 2 months for about the same as before.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342729778890255424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-61430694310198718372011-03-22T10:22:49.136-04:002011-03-22T10:22:49.136-04:00We don't have that here, however I have a frie...We don't have that here, however I have a friend who lives in Ont. who does and her hydro bill has gone up horribly.
