Here is my story about NYSEG. I am used to paying $500/month for my electric. I vacuum, wash and dry clothes, cook and bake and use my microwave. This is approx the amounting paid for Jan. In Feb. my bill was $911! I was told they must have underestimated me the previous month. However, heat with propane, I left the end of Jan. And did not return until after the first week of March. No lights on during that time, no laundry, no cooking, cleaning, or baking, and no use of the microwave. Just a refrigerator, a freezer, and my boiler. Imagine that! And my bill was $911.00! I call BS on NYSEG! They are just ripping people off! and worst of all, they are getting away with it!
