Very high this summer. I’m hitting over $300 this year which is not the norm by far.

127.00, but has been fairly mild in North Texas. Plus, we can shop rates, which helps

New attic insulation and AC tune up brought my bills last summer from $220 down to $150 this summer. I live in a 2,000 sq ft house.

That's about the same as Consuela's quarters out back behind my estate.

Usually around $150 in the heat of the summer. I’m not a spoiled brat that must live in 65-70 degree temps tho.

We have had to up the temps we keep it at a degree or two on average. Not sure it is helping bill much but seems to be.

I am trying to convince myself that it is an anomaly. My wife was at the end of her pregnancy through all of June and kept our bedroom ac on 65. Also, my daughter was originally in an over the garage bedroom, but two weeks ago I moved her to a different room because it was getting hot during the day even with the ac running constantly.

We will see how big a difference that makes...

I use levelized billing so ours doesn't fluctuate too much. Our last one was $150 or so. 2500 sq ft in BR

$51




I turn my ac off when I'm not at home though.



eta: I'm not a puss so I keep my home a max of 77*. 76 is cold for me. 79* and 40% humidity is ideal.


eta2: I also line-dry most of my clothes.


eta3: Have a water tank in the yard that sits out in the sun to pre-warm the water before it goes into the water heater.


eta4: I do all of my heavy cooking outside.


I'm actually not sure why my bill is as high as it is....

They’re looking to be paid.
Way too high.
