$100 a month in the summer in Texas? You living in a shoe box in the panhandle or what? I spend $700 a month in August. Tell us your secret for real.



I live in TX and have never spent anywhere near $700/m on electric. Either you keep your AC at 65 or something is very wrong.


And I'm sitting here in Germany with my €30/mo bill. :)


I live in a brand new home. Spray foam insulation. Keep the AC at around 74 year round. I also have natural gas running in to my house for my stove and water heater. All of my light bulbs are LED.


What are you setting your AC to?
