Living in Texas, my electric bill drops drastically during the winter. Consider a $500 bill for July versus $86 for October!\n\nHowever, if last year is anything to go by, my electric bill will rise by about $10 for the Christmas season. I don't do a lot of lights and fuss, though. Just the tree.

Assuming the service was satisfactory, 15%-20% is appropriate.  Just remember, the person providing the service to you does not usually receive the entire $100 fee you paid.  A portion of that goes to overhead and other related costs.

a little more than $9 per hour, but that depends on where u live (i live in california).

He probably charges 60-100 bucks and hour, but that includes his overhead.  He probably takes home something close to 30-45 bucks an hour.

I pay $380.00 a month for energy, running 2 a/cs all nights. That's $760.00 in two months. Maybe he is just trying to save you such high payments during the summer.\n(50 x 12 = $600)

Welcome to my world - I have a foreclosure on my credit report thanks to my ex-husband, but that's a whole separate story. Anyway, where I live in California, as far as a deposit, the electric co. can charge as much as what they estimate your electric bill will be for one month. However, if you have had utilities in your name before and don't have any outstanding balances from previous bills, they sometimes do not charge a deposit at all. It's best to check with the utility co. that you will be doing business with.

between 3-5 dollars an hour.But somtimes if you don't ask for an amount, they might give you more then you expect.

Depends on the size of the job and if it's rough or finish work. Why not call some contractors in a nearby city and find out what they would charge for the same work (indiscretely of course) and go from there?

owner's expense. If they are not willing to pay anything above the average electric bill you usually pay, then take them to small claims. Also, if the electricity is constantly being knocked out due to their work, then send a notified letter to the owner stating that they need to either find alternative power source or provide you with alternative housing during the construction period because the constant knocking out of power is a breach of contract. If they fail to resolve this issue in a reasonable time frame, and you feel the power outage is really affecting the ability to have quiet enjoyment of the place, get a hotel room that is similar or less than what you currently have and deduct that from the rent. Explain that you will do this in the certified letter.\n\nBy the way, I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV. \n\nRegards

Around $300, unless you own your own business. Hourly charges apply. I know quite a few accountants.

It depends on how good you really are.\n\nI know of some ecommerce consultants that charge as low as $50 per hour, while some of the better ones charge $250 per hour. The more services you offer, the higher the rate you can charge.\n\nThe thing to remember is to never set your charges too low. It is MUCH HARDER to raise your rates when you feel you are undervaluing your services, compared to cutting your rates when nobody's biting.

I'd just give him the rent if you feel he's ripping you off.  How are you going to know that your electric bill is 20.00 or 200.00?

It depends on where you live.  If it's a big city, anywhere between $50 and $100 for an hour is common, if it's a smaller town it may be more affordable.
