What are typical utility costs in Phoenix for electric, water, gas and trash?

Utility costs in Phoenix vary widely based on home size, age, insulation, cooling system efficiency, and your usage habits. Electric is typically the largest expense, especially in summer when air conditioning runs heavily. Most valley homes are served by APS or SRP, and both offer different rate plans. Water and sewer costs depend on whether you're on city service or a private utility. Many HOAs include trash pickup in their fees. Natural gas is common for heating, water heaters, and appliances, with higher use in winter. Older homes or those with pools, large lots, or poor insulation will cost more to operate than newer energy efficient builds.
