I was wondering how those heating bills compare to my A/C bills. At the end of summer last year my monthly a/c electric was over 350 for August and September, and started to go to mid 200's in October. I have to do something this year to lower that. I have choices in elec. companies now, and need to shop a lower price. And do some better insulation.

I have a VERY small , fairly well insulated house, but I'm still paying at least a hundred a month for oil. That's with keeping the thermostat set down to 60 most of the time, too. And since I have to run a humidifier constantly to keep the humidity even above 30, my electric bill goes up, too. This is still cheaper than the propane in my last apartment, and I could never get warm there, either. Drafty old place...it was horrid. I can't complain too much, I guess.

Granted, this winter was colder than some, but not by that much. I'll be happy when summer comes!

Insulation will help. How old is your A/C unit?
