don't they have a budget plan? I pay the same year round. Once a year they rebalance it and sometimes it goes up for the next year, and sometimes it goes down. but I know it's always going to be the same for a year.
I keep mine at 78 and use ceiling fans. I live in fear of my last electricity bill because I realized when I got home that before the trip I had temporarily set the thermostat at 76, and then forgot to change itback. My last electricity bill was over $145, and that's at a rate of 12.8 cents per KWh. It takes a lot to cool a house down here when someone turns up the sun. Keep in mind, this is a relatively small house with the latestradiant barrier, ridge vent, etc. It all helps a lot, but I can't escape the fact that it's hot, really hot. On the plus side, my natural gas bill was only $27. It'll go up to $60 orso in the winter.
Rules: Please play nicely with others.
