Our electric bill was about $350. Ours is all electric but we burned through a lot of wood in the fireplace trying to help it out.

My problem is we never lost power and usage was normal. Lost heat for a couple days (used no electric heat) and switched to Emergency Heat once it was fixed but our woodburning stove kept our heat off. I would get up every 2 hrs and make sure the fire was still burning. Thermostat was set on 65 and house stayed 68-76 depending on how stacked I kept the stove.
The following week after the storm my wife caught a guy in the yard at our meter. Asked what he was doing and he said “making a map”. I had my previous bill meter reading and went and looked at the current reading for that time. We averaged 1300 KWH a month and on that day with 15 days left in the billing cycle we were at 1200 already. Currently at 1600 usage with 5 days left in the cycle. I messaged my neighbors the same day who average 90 KWH/day and after that guy was here they checked their meter putting them at an average of 253 KWH/day based off that reading.
Was he “really” making a map or bumping meters?!?!?
Here’s a screenshot from my neighbors text conversation.

I expect our gas bill to be high since the wife got our gas fireplace going and was the only heat source for 3 days and then kept it on for the rest of the week. Also our water bill is probably gonna be crazy as she had every faucet in the house with a stream going during the whole ordeal but like others have said 'it beats having busted pipes". The wife did awesome while I was away trying to earn a living that week.

My electric was $340 for 3500 sqft. I couldn’t imagine what 6k would be.

We were very fortunate to have kept all utilities throughout as just a few streets down it was just like the rest of the state. Only thing I had to do was make sure ice was clear on my heat pump as it would build overnight and nearly ice up.
