We have no choice. We need propane, Kamps is the supplier, period. I am still holding a grudge that we have to pay a $150 deposit that stays on Kamps books until we leave Cottonwood! Personally, when I leave I won't be carrying a suitcase, if you know what I mean. When I paid a deposit for PG&E years ago, once I was established as a paying customer with no problems, my deposit was used to pay my bills. Kamps? No such luck.
In my time here, my usage has always been a curious even amount at 100 CuFt and my bill almost always about $6, tops. I don't use heat, I don't use the oven (can't see what I'm doing!) In November, it jumped to 300 CuFt, then in December it went to 500 CuFt. ! My June and November use should be just about the same. So why the jumps? I called to ask.
The answer was pretty hard for me to accept. "It's colder now." Well, thanks. But I am not using heat. Then I was told that my water tank needed to keep the water hot in colder weather, so more propane. Well, last years by bill was half of this year's. Has the price of propane increases dramatically? I sure can't see any news of that on my bills. Since the water tanks are in a locked closet, aren't they pretty much protected from "cold"?
They said there might be a problem with my meter. OR a leak on the line. Two weeks waiting, no reports of any inspection. So they did offer me a solution: they could disconnect my service! How helpful.
So how are your monthly numbers going Comments?
