Cost of Utilities in BELIZE

How much is it to live in Belize. We are often asked what is the cost of utilities in Belize and on Ambergris Caye. Unlike other Caribbean Islands, Ambergris Caye gets its power from subterranean lines from Mexico. This makes the cost of electricity much less than other island destinations.
The water on Ambergris Caye comes from BWS who uses desalinization and reverse osmosis. You will also be happy to know that if you are on the BWS water system, you are able to drink the tap water. Though be cautious, cause not all properties and resorts on Ambergris Caye have municipal water.
Atlanta: 11.9 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh)
New York: 24.9 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh)
Los Angeles: 27.41 c/Kwh
San Pedro: 22 c/kWh
Houston: 5.7 cents per KwH

Just FYI, Our house is 8 miles north of San Pedro and we have fibre optic internet through Digi.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Great to see the fiber optic reaching more of the island!

Propane runs 10 dollars a week for cooking gas, $5 US. Delivered and connected no charge. Areas near the sea or on the Maya mountains are liveable without A/c, hottest days it is nice to have, 2 to 3 months.

I’m SO glad you did this video. Very helpful and informative! Thanks.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Thank you very much, David!!

[@rhondaclaiborne7283]

Thank you, great information for someone thinking about moving to that area.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Thank you very much, Rhonda!

Hello
Can you tell me Will for someone who lives in the US but may want to become a resident of Belize what is the health care like? Are there health insurance policy like we have here in America. Although I don't see myself there full time yet I can see myself there during our long NY winters.
We are currently looking to invest in something and all your videos have been very informative. My husband & I would love to fly down and meet with you and your team for a long weekend. I loved Trevor's new home.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Hi there!! Happy to help get you all the details if you shoot me an email at [e-mail] we can line up a call and cover all your questions!!

[@cire00666]

thank you for this video. we are trying to do the math to atleast move down for 6 months.

[@kappytime]

You mixed up the units of comparison on Internet speeds. There are 8 megabits (Mb) in 1 megabyte (MB). So the Digi internet at 40 Mbps (BZD$79) is the same speed as the SMART Internet at 5 MBPS (at BZD$25).

[@DarkSevariant]

1.00 BZD = .50 USD

[@waynemarks]

Great info as always Will! Does MBV have an arrangement with Digi? Are residents automatically connected with them for group rates etc? I’m sure Digi would love to have all of those houses connected with them!

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Thanks Wayne!! The property management can assist with that process so it should be pretty strait forward

[@dovygoodguy1296]

Do you use central air conditioning or wall units or window units? Do you have to live with air conditioning 24/7 365 days a year? Are the base fees for each rented accomodation you move into? Are there differences between San Pedro and Belize City?

Hey Will, love your content and love Belize. Wife and I are looking at taking our 8th or 9th trip now down there in a couple of months. Was wondering if you could do an update on roads. Don't know if there are plans for them to be paving any other roads than the one north and the condition of most of the major roads right now.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Hey Jeremy, we're actually putting together a road update so stay tuned!

[@JeremyZimmerman]

@@WillMitchellBelize you rock man, love your content. Can't wait to get back down there in May.

[@AndreyNabutovsky]

Starlink is not an option?

[@WillMitchellBelize]

At this point no but I have heard there are work arounds for setting up starlink

[@cassandragauvreau5863]

What about starlink? Still cheaper then Canada 😂great video

[@WillMitchellBelize]

I think we need starlink asap!!

[@denniskerek4055]

I just saw a video concerning Belize... something about charging non residents 100 usd a month per person. Is there any validity to what they were saying. It doesn’t make any sense and I’ve never heard this before.
Regards
Dennis

Hey Will good video man. Good job. I appreciate you.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Thank you very much!

[@sharondastorr3866]

Good morning. These costs aren't bad I can push to something like these. Would you be able to give a rough or sure knowing; starting price of low cost home with all needed or apartments. I would like to send my business page so I can get further info if possible..

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Yep we could definitely put something like that together!

[@20kevron]

How does Belize real estate prices compare to other Caribbean countries?

[@WillMitchellBelize]

We actually have a comparative analysis video series where we break down some of the key differences. For me Belize is the best but there are certain things others might prefer

[@Toooldforthisshite]

Is Starlink available in Belize………

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Coming soon Glenn
