Somehow mine was $270.00 this month. I freaked out when I saw the bill because it's usually about $150.00 in the summer. I called them to recheck the meter and they told me the readings were accurate! I was pissed because I don't know how we supposedly consumed that much more electricity when nothing has changed. It steams me even thinking about it right now.

You probably can check the meter yourself, you know (this access maybe a requirement by law). For my townhouse, all the meters (gas and electricity0 )are located at the side of the building. Everyone can read them. My gas company charged me 35 last month. I went outside to read it and it should have been 19 and so I called them and they sent me another bill.

stupid inefficient window unit AC

<---ready for central AC in a week.

My Ac is central unit. My first central unit. I love it. It's quiet (in the basement) and programmable. The cooling is fast.
 
$186

that was about $20 higher than i expected, we had some mild weather in july, so i am a bit worried about my next bill > $200 as we are getting a heatwave now
 
$55

Just the two of us. I'm home from work around 2:30 and the AC hasn't even kicked on yet. We have a setback thermostat and turn up the temp during the day while we're at work. Do the reverse in the winter turning it down also at night.

Detroit Edison offers interruptable AC service. They can cut power to the AC at peak load times for periods of time. We live way out at the far edge of their coverage area in a rural community where everyone is on acreage. They've never cut us off yet that I know of, but still have to give us the lower rate. :thumbsup:
 
$208.00 was last months bill. 4 BR house, central air, thermostat programmed to keep it at 78 M-F 8AM - 3:30PM while we are at work, 72 other times.
