July's Electric Bill

So we got the electric bill for last month. It was a bit of a sticker shock--$192. Whoa!!! Then I looked closer at the numbers.

As noted previously our equal payment plan jumped up to $170/month which prompted change on my part. So $22 more than the equal payment plan, really wasn't too bad considering that last month we saved $55. Net gain of $33 during the hotter months of the year.

The consumption numbers for July 2006 were 3019 kWh for the month, averaging 91 kWh per day. For 2007 we cut the numbers back to 1875 kWh and 57kWh respectively. Nice.

So for the hotter parts of the year we have continued cutting our electric use by 38%. The average for the year so far is an average reduction of over 40%...nice.
