Hydro what is included?

[cadgijoe]

Hi all,

I read that hydro means electricity and gas, does that mean heating too? If not, what is average cost of heating per month for a small bachelor unit, in your experience and estimation?

Is water free? If not, again, what is average cost?

Thank you.

Hydro is just electricity. Gas is separate. Water is a separate bill. In most apartments and some condos water and gas may be included. Electricity is what costs the most. Everything varies by province or municipality. Would look at what type of heating and cooling the place has. Anything that runs on electricity will cost more but for a studio apartment you are not looking at huge costs. Maybe $50 max a month depending on how big your unit is, how much heat or AC you use and how well insulated the place is. You can ask the person showing you the condo or apartment they should have an idea plus explain what is included.

Thank you.

If your unit uses electric heating (e.g., baseboard heaters), then hydro could include heating costs. In this case, your electric bill will increase in the winter months due to heating.
