Wherever you move, MAKE SURE it is powered through FPL and not the city utilities! I dont live on the Space coast, but i have lived in the next county south (The Treasure Coast) my entire life. FPL is always cheaper. i was paying approx $800-$1200/month through Ft Pierce Utilities. I now live in a slightly larger house, and my FPL bill averages $200/month

Trying my best to land a job in the area to facilitate a move... have a possible job in Cape Canaveral... We anticipate renting a house while we get a feel for the area, and then buying a house. Looking at houses in the 1000-1400 sq ft range. Can anyone give me an idea on utility bills through the year? My elec bill in NOVA is $150-200/mo, water $100 and gas $20-80. Can anyone give me some info on reasonable expectations? Thanks!! I live alone in a 1150 sf all electric (no gas) home. My FPL is on budget billing which means they average out my annual usage over 12 month so there is very little up and down. I pay 160 dollars for electricity. I have city water and sewer and it runs about 70 bucks. I'm sure it would be higher if there were more people living here. |

Gas is a rarity in FL, and your electric bill will be dependent on how efficient your a/c and water heater are. If you think 75 in the house is hot, better plan on a decent electric bill.

I am in Lake Mary and have FPL with an almost exact same size home, and my bill is about $140/month on average. Do you keep your thermostat on 82 during he summer and 60 during the winter or something? I would LOVE to have an electric bill so low. |

I'm on the space coast.
About 2500sqft, with a pool pump that runs 24/7, and pay a max of 230ish in the summer with the AC at 72, and 130ish in the winter. Through FPL. No complaints here. ETA: Age of house and AC unit / appliances / pool pump type if any play a big role in electricity costs here. My last house was ~1500sqft and cost almost 280 a month for electricity with the AC @ 75. Also, changing to a newer variable speed pool pump that runs 24/7 and not 6 to 8 hours a day saved me about $30 / mo. |

Do you keep your thermostat on 82 during he summer and 60 during the winter or something? I would LOVE to have an electric bill so low. My house is very well insulated and has no leaks. My AC unit was replaced a few years back with a higher efficiency model; I don't wash clothes daily; I have a high efficiency water heater; I keep the thermostat on 85 when I am not home, 79 when I am. Winter time, I don't run my AC at all as long as the outside temps stay around 80 or lower. I have yet to run the unit in heat mode as I also have a fireplace. Most importantly, I'm single and don't have to listen to anyone bitch about being cold or hot. |

I live in the Space Coast area and have FPL. 1400(ish) SF townhouse with the thermostat set to 70* year round and my bill is usually a little over $200 in the summer and a little below $150 in the winter. Water is usually $65-$70 through the city.
ETA: No gas hookup, BTW. |
