1. Small hot water heaters: Not something you would think about, but since you pay for your hot water - you basically get little hot water. Be ready for short showers if you move here.

2. Electric bills: considering it’s cold here, and we pay for all electric here...Our electric bill is averaging around $250 a month in the winter months, and we are cold. We set the heat low around 62 degrees and use a lot of blankets and run the dishwasher about once or twice a week and take 5 minute showers… every other day in a one bedroom apartment. We use the stove about once a week. We use 5watt light bulbs to give you a good example of what to expect. I don’t feel like I am using that much electric considering other places I have lived have always come in around $15 to $30 a month for electric. I think it is the heaters they have here and the electric panel seems to need updating.
