At $100/month, the bond amount will not be enough if you purchase a newly constructed home. It may be ok if you purchase a home that the previous owners have been paying on the bond for the last 15 or so years.

Electric will be ok at $150/month if you purchase in the SECO service area. If the Duke area, it will be more.
