      And I was shocked at a $90 bill for the last month… But like you, usage consistent with previous years, just that costs have shot up.

      Far out I’d die from a heart attack with that kind of bill.

      Holy shit! Thats more than double mine and we ran the heater almost every day with basically 0 solar input.

      Worth having a look at whats using all your juice. And that your power company is not sticking it to you. Ovo was cheapest last time I looked.

        It’s the old as shit radiator. Consistent usage with last year, but price increase. One of the reasons for needing to move.

            Don’t. No. No anko stuff.

            My anko heater from Kmart burst into flames last year. And it eats electricity like a fucking beast.

            I agree. Couple of those oil column heaters in the bedrooms, a knock off oodie and electric throw or 2 in the lounge room. Would be a fuckton cheaper.

            Don’t know. Already only heat the central part of the house. Have a heater of our own too to actually move air. Wanted to be gone by March to avoid this!
