Do you have a programmable thermostat? I use Ecobee myself and have been pretty happy with it. Grilling instead of cooking indoors helps. Is your HVAC pretty good at managing your humidity? A dehumidifier can help if your humidity is still fairly high when using your HVAC,

You might not want to close off any rooms. Sometimes it is a bad idea.

Apparently, a thermal cover over your attic access stairs is helpful.

This is free in most instances if you own the home.
If you rent turn the ac up

I go 77 at night and 79 during the day.
That is almost like living in a terrarium in the south.
Give me 72 with a decent humidity.
The biggest comfort factor in cooling is humidity. That has been my problem at my old house. I have to keep it cold because of the humidity seeping in, but then that creates another problem of sweating. My AC lines are sweating in the attic and creating a problem with moisture.

People around here complain about $4-800 monthly bills. We have lived here 25 years and just broke $200 for the first time, last year. Highest ever was $212.
I built a 2,600 sq ft house 15yrs ago, fully bricked and paid for a well insulation job. Power bill runs on avg of about $200 a month thru the year. I cant imagine paying a $600 power bill. If your power bill is that much, something is extremely wrong imo.

Turn off your AC. Turn off your lights. Duh.

You're on a well? How does that affect your power bill?

Switched to time of use billing with my electric co and my bill averaged $65 cheaper per month. Peak time for summer is 3p-6p so the thermostat is programmed for 70° until 2:55, then 78° from 3p-6p. We try to avoid using other major appliances during that time.

After one fell on my house during Laura, I had the other one cut down. It’s not worth the headache wondering if it’ll hit your house every time a hurricane comes around. I learned my lesson.
