Default Re: What's Your Summer Electric Consumption/Bill

I live in NC, temps in 90-100 (or more range)
my last bill was $32, but that is not accurate, it was a no AC month (well we turned it on for company once) I expect my next bill closer to $70.

AC is now on, and will stay for awhile..but stay t 80...I didn't start with 80 though..I started as a kid in PA with no air period..so to me 80 is rather cool...has an airless third floor apartment in 90 degree weather beat!

Its all in how you look at it.

I discoivered in winter I woke up cold every morning..wether the house was 75, or 65! I figure the same with heat, I gethot about 2 hours fter I get up..somedays it is 78, some 80...more about habit than temp!

Oh and drink more water! cold water cools you, and having enough water helps keep you that way.
