originally from MA and it has always been electric bill. Here in WV it is still electric bill, we also have gas bill, and town utilities which is water, sewer, and trash pick up. Then of course we have cable, and internet, and Cell phones, all things I consider Utilities.

from Pittsburgh and have lived all over the mid-atlantic. I say electric bill, which is also most common with others I think everywhere I've lived, although some say power bill. Light bill sounds weird, and I've never heard anyone say it that I remember.

From Upstate NY and it is "power bill".

When I lived in the South it was pretty common to hear people referring to it as the "light bill". I don't recall anyone down there calling it the 'power bill'.

When I lived in the Midwest, usually heard "electric bill".
