I have always been the same way. Just won’t turn on the heat till November and no air conditioner till mid June.

Hubby snuck the air on early this year, and I felt like I was freezing when I’d go to the basement to get on the computer. Thought about getting out the heating pad, but didn’t want to use the electricity.

That dang bill goes up every year, and for the last 5 years, I’ve managed to reduce the useage. I hate to see what this years average will be.

we're in the North and do have a woodstove to burn downstairs in the winter, but I don't like to start it up until I have too...

but I don't like turning the heat on too early...

past spring, I turned my heat off for good at least 3 x, when the cold weather came back...lol....

eastern Washington has been very hot, very very dry, and very smoky....

not a happy end of summer here....hope the fall makes up for it with moderate temps and some rain and clear skies...

I have gotten my electric bill down from over $100 to a little over $40.00. Just by being frugal! LOL!
