Don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you haven’t checked your latest bill or online statement yet, get ready—June’s utility charges might leave you stunned.
Let me give you some context behind this warning. I’m just an average Missourian. Sure, I have a few quirks, but like many dads, I turn off lights when they’re not needed—and sometimes even when they are. We live in a modest home under 2,000 square feet. In the summer, we keep the thermostat set around 72 degrees, dropping it to 67 at night. When I logged into our utility provider’s website and saw the projected cost for June, my jaw dropped.
Why Your June Utility Bill Might Shock You
Typically, our electric bill runs about $150 a month, sometimes even less. But for June? It’s expected to nearly triple. I knew it would be higher, but the current projection is pushing $400—or even more. That’s a hard hit.
A Way to Soften the Blow This Summer
If you’re also with Ameren, there’s a plan that lets you pay a consistent monthly rate based on your average usage. While you’ll end up paying more during the winter, it smooths out the steep summer spikes that many Missouri families dread.
If you haven’t already checked your bill, brace yourself. This summer’s heatwave is coming with a hefty price tag.
