I get a weekly summary of my electricity usage, so I have an idea what to expect.  The bills for July and August are going to be high! 4951

I think this may be our highest ever.  It seems particularly hot this summer. 4951

@MarT:
 
We've had hotter.
Watching the news last night, the guy said Sat and Sun temps were each one degree beliw the record. That record was set in something like 1954. Global warming is not exactly running wild. 4951

Not that concerned about it. I did a lot of things to make the home as snug and efficient as possible. Really went overboard. The outlets facing exterior walls, all those are sealed up, insulated and have inserts in them when not in use. Skylights, took them apart and sealed them up with foam and caulk, it was never done right. The skylight fix was noticed immediately. Have had LED lights for about 10 years now throughout the house. I do a bunch of other things to save coin even though I don't really have to do it. I am going to be comfortable in my home. Spent most of my life being miserable in the military. Even in college, one summer I refused to turn on the AC in my apartment hahaaa! Nobody wanted to come over. Done with that crap. 72 at night and don't care.  4951

Mine is projected to be $110.72. And that's with running the blower motor of a waterslide on the 4th of July for 8 straight hours. 4951

@MarT: What do you keep your thermostat at? We're at 77 during the day and 75-76 at night. But, we have a pool (run the Polaris for 5-6 hours a day). We're looking at around $285 this month for a 2800 sq-foot house. Ouch.

I keep it at 74 during the day and was keeping it at 68 at night because I read an article about solving sleep issues. It was great! But after last month's $265 bill I went to 72 at night. We have a pool, so I'm sure the pump and polaris use energy too. House is about 3600 sf.
 
I really like keeping it cool but might have to adjust. 4951
