We’ve since gone solar, well worth it in my opinion… but, before going solar our level pay electric bill was $560 a month in California, Los Angeles area. That does not include our small gas bill. Good sized house on a small lot with a pool. On solar we pay around $180 a month and get a refund from the electric company every year.
