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

I forgot to subtract the "Stabilization deferral rate" -- that is, we are only getting hit with the 15% hike not the full 83% hike. SO I get to subtract $84.50 from what i thought I was going to have to owe as of todays meter reading. That means, if our gas consuption was the same (hopefully it was lower), then currently I have accrued charges for 262-84.50 for electric or $177.50. That's so much better! TG!!!

Now I just really need to watch it for the next 8 days! I'll try sleeping w/o the window unit on tonight, but I don't know. The house on the middle level is already 84. Upstairs will be worse than that. Maybe I'll blow up an air mattress and sleep inthe basement. It's only 75 deg. down here.

DH comes home tomorrow night and he'll have to have the a/c every night (and the central air when he's home to keep it to at least 78) until he leaves on Sunday night.

So much to think about!
