My husband and I are getting ready to expand our family and we are getting in place to build a house here in Texas. How much would the utilities run? I figure nearly $1500/month would cover it...water, cable, and electric, am I right?
probably more or less half that. I have a 1500 sq ft house and mine run in the order of $300 a month
Wow , that`s a lot . Do you plan on disappearing the lights on and all the appliances running 24 hrs a day? Must be nice to enjoy that much cash at hand. You really hold to learn to turn off things when you are not within the room. Unless you have electric heat and keep hold of the house at 85 in the winter and 60 in the summer and resign from every light on in the house on 24 hrs a time you should be way under that. I would devise that if you are that much for utilities , the authorities may think you are running a grow op in your house and would investigate. Hi Amber,
I live within TN, so I don't know the particular costs of things in TX, but our house is of similar size and we are economically under that figure.
Answers: I live in south Texas and near the rates and plans that are available your electricity for a house that size would be around $600, just dont choose Reliant Energy as your provider.
