I am a transfer student. Will also be looking for a part time job. If ANYONE can help me I would appreciate it. Or if you could even point me in the direction of a cheap-safe apartment complex without utilities.
Housing in Atlanta never includes utilities. Well I cant think of any that do……….The key to picking an apt is the proximity to your school and job. Traffic is the biggest problem in Atlanta and even native Atlanta folks will move when they take a new job as traffic is that much of an issue.
The worst parts of Atlanta are on the west and south sides.

It seems they would like to just get paid for customer service, transmission, and distribution of electricity. They are encouraging customers to buy the actual electricity from someone else.
Is this a sign that these large utility companies would like to shut down their coal-fired and nuclear power plants? The cost of the electricity generated by those plants is low compared with other sources of generation. Are the owners of coal fired plants under so much pressure because of proposed EPA regulations, mercury emissions, global warming, etc? Power from these plants has been sold to other electric utilities in the grid because it is cheaper than power from other sources, like small gas fired plants.
How are the smaller companies competing for the generation business generating their electricity? Can the possibly meet demand? Are we looking forward to an era of blackouts and brownouts?
And how would this system encourage conservation, when the smaller companies want business from those who use the most electricity?
This sounds like an oxymoron. How can a utility get out of the power generation business? Someone must build and run power plants. If they don´t, they will have to BUY it, which is the same thing, only more expensive.
———————————————-
On the other hand, it makes sense, since it passes the generation burden to someone else and the utility can concentrate on more administrative tasks.
……………………………….
The price of electriciy is not set by the EPA or anybody else, it is being bid up at auction. The bidders commit to a certain amount of power for certain periods of time during certain dates. It is a market, in the truest sense, although there are "manipulations", particularly with peak power.

An older mobile home already has site work, utility and sewer hook-ups, but may need major updating. A new trailer does not need fixing, but the land needs to be purchased, site work needs to be done and utilities need to be hooked up. Really not interested in leasing the land or the mobile home. Looking to do this the most economical and cheapest way possible, money is very tight, and the mobile homes seem very affordable.
You are better off buying the location with the existing trailer on it , all other things being equal, the cost of providing those services to another site could equal the cost of a good condition newer trailer. You could either replace the trailer at a later time for not a huge amount (Double check the zoning and planning board rules on this) or you could use it as a building site for a moduler or stick built home as well.
I try to be economical (cheap) with my utilities. When I am at home, I like to keep the A.C. set to 75 degrees, but when I leave for work in the morning I turn the AC unit off, and don’t turn it on again until i get home. By the time i get home, it’s 82 degrees and I turn the AC back on to 75degrees. The house is empty from 7:30 to 5:30 (10hrs). Is it cheaper to have the AC running all day at 75/76 degrees or to turn the AC on and off each day as described above?
The AC unit is pretty new (8months old), and the condo is only 1000 sq ft and not too large, so these two facts combined mean that it only takes 15-25 minutes to cool the place down even after having it turned off for the 10hrs.
The best idea, for the state of your possessions, would be to raise the temperature to about 80 while you’re out.
In the Bradford/Leeds area. Anyone any idea roughly what the difference would be?
Difficult to give a precise answer because council tax is based on a mythical ‘rentable value’ assessed by the local council – so a large flat/apartment in a desirable area of the city may be rated higher and therefore pay more council tax than a small house in a run down part of town.
Local councils are usually very good at giving out council tax ratings – so if you are interested in a flat/apartment ask at the local council offices for an exact charge.
Utility bills are also a bit difficult because they depend on how much of each service you use – in practice a small flat/apartment will probably be less than a house – but if for instance you live in a flat and keep the heating up high for days and days your utilities bill will be quite high – best way to get an assessment is to ask the previous occupant how much their bills were – or ask a friend who lives a similar life style to you in a similar flat.

there was a really cheap one when I lived in the area called chadwick village. look it up if you can find it.
I’ve been told that the typical utility bill is $150-$300 in my apt. I’m curious if I could save in any way, being that I’ve never lived on my own. For instance, in the winter, is it cheaper to use a space heater in my room or turn on the heat? Also, I don’t leave lights or the TV on when I’m not home. Any advice on how to cut costs? Thanks!

Portable Heaters
Small space heaters are typically used when the main heating system is inadequate or when central heating is too costly to install or operate. In some cases, small space heaters can be less expensive to use if you only want to heat one room or supplement inadequate heating in one room. They can also boost the temperature of rooms used by individuals who are sensitive to cold, especially elderly persons, without overheating your entire home.
Space heater capacities generally range between 10,000 Btu to 40,000 Btu per hour. Common fuels used for this purpose are: electricity, propane, natural gas, and kerosene (see the wood and pellet section for information on wood and pellet stoves).
Although most space heaters rely on convection (the circulation of air in a room) to heat a room, some rely on radiant heating; that is, they emit infrared radiation that directly heats up objects and people that are within their line of sight. Radiant heaters are a more efficient choice when you will be in a room for only a few hours, if you can remain within the line of sight of the heater. They can be more efficient when using a room for a short period because they avoid the energy needed to heat the entire room by instead directly heating the occupant of the room and the occupant’s immediate surroundings.
Safety is a top consideration when using space heaters. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that more than 25,000 residential fires every year are associated with the use of space heaters, causing more than 300 deaths. An estimated 6,000 persons receive hospital emergency room care for burn injuries associated with contacting hot surfaces of room heaters, mostly in non-fire situations.
When buying and installing a small space heater, follow these guidelines:
Only purchase newer model heaters that have all of the current safety features. Make sure the heater has the Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) label attached to it.
Choose a thermostatically controlled heaters, since they avoid the energy waste of overheating a room.
Select a heater of the proper size for the room you wish to heat. Do not purchase oversized heaters. Most heaters come with a general sizing table.
Locate the heater on a level surface away from foot traffic. Be especially careful to keep children and pets away from the heater.
Vented and Unvented Combustion Space Heaters
Space heaters are classified as vented and unvented, or "vent free." Unvented combustion units are not recommended for use inside your home, as they introduce unwanted combustion products into the living space, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and water vapor. The units also deplete the air in the space where they are located. Most states have banned unvented kerosene heaters for use in the home and at least five have banned the use of unvented natural gas heaters.
Vented units are designed to be permanently located next to an outside wall, so that the flue gas vent can be installed through a ceiling or directly through the wall to the outside. Look for sealed combustion or "100% outdoor air" units, which have a duct to bring outside into the combustion chamber. Sealed combustion heaters are much safer to operate than other types of space heaters, and operate more efficiently because they do not draw in the heated air from the room and exhaust it to the outdoors. They are also less likely to backdraft and adversely affect indoor air quality.
Less expensive (and less efficient) units use the room air for combustion. They do not have a sealed glass front to keep room air away from the fire and should not be confused with a sealed combustion heater.
In addition to the manufacturer’s installation and operating instructions, you should follow these general safety guidelines for operating any combustion space heater:
For liquid-fueled heaters, use only the approved fuel. Never use gasoline! Follow the manufacturer’s fueling instructions. Never fill a heater that is still hot. Do not overfill the heater; you must allow for the expansion of the liquid. Only use approved containers clearly marked for that particular fuel, and store them outdoors.
Have vented space heaters professionally inspected every year. If the heater is not vented properly, not vented at all, or if the vent is blocked, separated, rusted, or corroded, dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can enter the home causing sickness and death. CO also can be produced if the heater is not properly set up and adjusted for the type of gas used and the altitude at which it is installed.
Electric Space Heaters
Electric space heaters are generally more expensive to operate than combustion space heaters, but they are the only unvented space heaters that are safe to operate inside your home. Although electric space heaters avoid indoor air quality concerns, they still carry hazards of potential burns and fires, and should be used with caution.
For convection (non-radiant) space heaters, the best types incorporate a heat transfer liquid, such as oil, that is heated by the electric element. The heat transfer fluid provides some heat storage, allowing the heater to cycle less and to provide a more constant heat source.
When buying and installing an electric space heater, you should follow these general safety guidelines:
Electric heaters should be plugged directly into the wall outlet. If an extension cord is necessary, use a heavy-duty cord of 14-guage wire or larger.
For portable electric heaters, buy a unit with a tip-over safety switch, which automatically shuts off the heater if the unit is tipped over.
I personally would suggest the space heater and lots of sweaters for your cold winter months! That way you can just warm up the room you are spending the most time in and save lots of muah!
