Buying Electric Fireplaces

Help Estimating Utilities?

I’m apartment shopping for an apartment for my fiance and I. I need help estimating utilities in central Alabama for about a 780-865 sq foot apartment with electric heating and stove and central air. There’s even a fireplace so we wouldnt have to always use the heat during the winter but i guess I just want guesstimates based on if we did…. i need everything, power, water, cable averages!! thanks in advanced

    The previous answer from Susan B is correct. It’s the best way to get accurate information.

    Call the local eletric company and ask them to look up the last years total on that perticular apartment. Thas what i did.
    all you need to do is give the address. ABout the cable.. call and see what the packages would be. Should be from 40-150.00 or more a month.. that should include internet and phone and cable.

    In most states you can call the utililty company. Give them an address and unit number (apartment number) and they can give you historical information for that apartment. They often will email or fax you a summary of the charges for the past year. There might be a small administrative fee, but it’s probably less than $5. A good idea if you’re not sure of utility costs. The apartment manager also may have this information. It’s a valid question that I encourage you to follow up on.
