We have to run the a/c a lil more and lil lower than most of the country because of the high humidity. Its been mid 90's all week and will be thru early Oct more than likely. My Electric bill will run $300 easily and with natural gas added i wont go below $350 till at least November, next 3 months will be $400+ range. I need to get off my Axx and switch to a gas dryer, that would knock it down prolly $30 a month.
My room is separate from the rest of the house...so the central a/c stays at about 74 but they usually have 3 ceiling fans going over there also. I have my own unit for my side and its on 67 right now....i pay the bill i get the comfort....lol
