Would be interesting to add to everyones bills, do you have gas or not? Power bill should be less if you have gas stove/hotwater/heater??

I used to have over $400 each month at my old place. Especially in summer when we pretty had 1 room as a server room with a few racks in it. Aircon pumping away etc. Split costs between housemate so it was bearable, but power is not cheap and it's easy to eat up the juice with split systems, plasma's, etc.

My bill is high as we live in a studio apartment and the shit-house real estate didn't bother to get a sub meter so the power bills are divided between the amount of people in our apartment (2) compared to the amount of people in the townhouse (5) wtf! We are getting screwed there paying $150-200 every 2 months for a 2x1 apartment compared to a 5x3 house! Moving in a month though
