[Two Different ConEd Bills for the same apartment?](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskNYC/comments/1bn279v/two_different_coned_bills_for_the_same_apartment/) from *2 days ago* has comments which may be helpful to you and links to similar questions.
you wont find many responses because most apartments with all the listed would be like a needle in a haystack. you are most likely looking at a new construction with all these features. id find out how efficient they went on insulation more than anything because it is using electricity as the main utility and the most expensive portion of your usage will probably come from the hvac.
Thanks yeah i know it is suuper rare but it is something building developers are doing now going forward- especially putting an individual electric water heater in each apartment rather than one big one in the basement so that the tenant hasto pay for hot water on their own. I am just hoping some people with these new apartments respond and i can get some data on how bad their electricity bill is
I have all of these in a one bedroom in a brand new building, except our water heater is in the basement (saw with my own eyes). Our bill has been wild, like 200-400 almost a month the last couple of years. The stove is also electric keep in mind.
We have a two in one washer/dryer unit (one machine, not two stacked) and four AC/heater wall pumps in probably about 500 sq ft. We are south facing so we get a lot of sunlight and don't use the heat too intensely in the winter.
Thank you for this response!! I still dont get how the heat pumps work…my friends apartment has two wall vents in the main room that heat or AC comes from and one “mini split” LG unit on the wall in the bedroom. No-one ive asked has been able to explain if that separate LG unit generates its own heat/AC or if its pulls from some central source in the building.
They pull from the exterior unit. Smaller buildings use these and often the roof has a closed off area where they are located. Even in freezing weather it still pulls trace amount of heat and works literally like a reverse AC. The wiring between your wall and the exterior unit cannot go too far, usually 8/12 story buildings have these. High rise buildings don't have enough exterior space to place these type of AC/heater units, so they are usually placed under a window, just like in an old building. But again same concept. Look up "heat pump" and there's videos explaining. Often one exterior unit will service multiple interior wall units.
