PG&E Has got ya by the B*lls

did you use your AC? heat? do you turn your AC off, or just program it to regulate the temperature?

What's the square footage of your home? We pay an average of $60 a month on gas and electric at our apartment, but it is small, only around 1000 sq ft.

That's highway robbery. Contact you city counsel and county supervisor.
Organize your neighbors.
Don't let this go.
My highest bill for one month was $320 last winter and I had 2 electric heaters going 24/7/

Did they tell you about your 350% increase?
That is regulated by the city and county and increases have to be approved.

20% increase would make headlines
There is something wrong.
Raise bloody hell Lori.

OMG AR EYOU KIDDING ME. well my highest bill ever was last year during the winter. but it was high because my pipe for the hot water was leaking. i didnt find out till i noticed my bill. im not sure if your local news has a dept where u can file complaints and they will check on it for u at pge. they usually help people and get credits for them. well u better raise hell. this is crap. what a buncha crooks. hey check all your pipes and make sure u dont have a leak somewhere because my bill was about that much when i had that problem.

Thank you all for your input. I appreciate it very much. I have had it. I live in a very small place prob smaller than Tay's apt. All I know is that they have you by the B*lls. And sucks! I mean WTF I could move and pay more rent and live in a better place for the price I am paying to PG&E. I really think it is wrong. I am soooo sick of it. I am going to try to call again tomorrow, and see what they tell me about this one.

I think Ringo has the best idea. Go rock their boat, it couldn't hurt and it might really be just a mistake. Stay on them.

Well here in sac. I have smud , they only check the meters every three months . So in between they average out your usage . So like every three months i usually get a bill higher than the two months before . I dont know if this helps , but good luck !!!!!!!! You don't have a gas leak around the house do you ? P.s. My family is an electrical contractor in sacramento , and whenever we have to deal with pg & e it is a real pain in the .... B#lls !!!!!!!!! I hope you get this worked out . Please keep us posted !!!!!!!!!
