I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on utility costs. I am in ajax and i am looking at rentinga small 3 bed town house. I have never dealt with utilities here yet and the landlord will tell you what he wants in order to rent the property!
I am at work all day and only there in the evenings. Showers daily, computer, alarm system, heating. general house usage.
Can anyone give me a rouge idea of hydro cost, water cost, gas etc

much appreciated.

I have a small three bedroomed detached house in the beach. Gas is $200/month, electricity $150, water <$50. I'd expect gas to be much less in a townhouse, perhaps half, but the electric bill is nearly all fixed cost so I doubt you'd save anything there.

Wow, your water bill is low down there in Red Deer !. And your gas pretty high . Is that due to the underfloor heating in the basement?

Do you like Red Deer. Passed through it a few times. Always liked the landscape around there. More hilly and nice and leafy.

Do you know of many Brits that settle there, as there are qiute a few of us up here in Sherwood Park esp.
