High Electric Bills

[Mizzkizz7]

I just received a disconnection notice yesterday! Got to pay by next week.  These cooling bills are getting expensive. The hotter it gets, the harder our AC's are working!

That must be very stressful. Luckily our apartment stays cool without a ac.

I'm not looking forward to paying that high electric bill, cringing at the thought.

    I do not use the AC unless it is totally HOT! Like 100 or more. We got August weather already in Portland, Oregon. It's in the 90's

Our electric bill is double in the summer from what it is in the winter. This year is no different. I love the winter months here in Florida to get a break from the high bill.

I only use my AC when it's really hot like  90 degrees or higher. But when it's 80 or lower. I just use a fan.

I try to only use my central air when I have to.  Last year I purchased fans on clearance and put them in the windows to keep the house at a decent temperature.  I also have shades which I can pull  down when the sun is on a particular part of the house to keep some of the heat out.

I feel your pain so to speak my latest electric bill went up $35 which on disability and a very small retirement check that is painful. Here in central FL where I live it is so hot and humid.

anybody have solar panels? I'm curious of costs and what I would need if so lol thanks

 We were using our AC continuously during a long hot spell.  Then we lost power for 7 hours.  I think that saved us on the utility bill.

I use to hate the summer bill I would receive during the summer. I chose to pay one set amount year round. They averaged out my 12 months and not I pay the same each month. I prefer to do that than to see it go up higher. My bill has not changed in 2 years.

Yeah I wish I could do solar in my area but I have too many trees so it would not work for me. My electric is ridiculous! If I could live like the Amish, I would! lol

All of our utility bills will be going up at least 3% in the next few months since the local school board has imposed a 3% tax on all utilities.  We already pay a tax on all property (house, land, vehicles, etc.) for the school system.
