That’s really amazing.

In the summer, when temps here can be in the 90s and 100s, our electric bill (including heat pump) is well below $100, and that’s with still running the dryer for two adults and two kids. Only 1500 sq ft home but no shade to speak of.

Good for you Steve. Guess it all depends on what your power co. is charging for kwhs and fuel charges. Our state and counties get a cut too. It is big, big business in Florida.

BTW this home is around 2500+ sq. ft. Our heating/cooling systems are the most energy efficient, designed by my personal mechanical engineer spouse. I am down to around 950 kwh per month right now. That is a good 1500 kwh less than most homes this size. I don’t know what else to cut. I still enjoy cooking indoors and reading by lamp at night. Then there is this darn computer. Can’t give that up just yet.
