I cannot imagine having a light bill of $50! I would pass out from shock. I am usually pretty happy if it is around 150. We have an approx 1400 sq ft house currently, with central heat and air, at least 2 tvs on most of the time, computer on 24/7, I do try to make sure all lights are off except room we are in. We keep the heat down to 70 during the day and turn way down when we leave. I will not freeze to save $10. the air is a different story. The only time I really need a lot of cool air is at night. I cannot sleep if I am hot. I will wake up all night. So we usually turn it down to 70 at night and that will usually hold most of the day if we aren't at home. till about 12 if we are. we have a ceiling fan in the living room and kitchen that are run pretty frequently. I cannot stand still air.
