Power Bill

My power bill continues to stay low. Last year we used an average of 57kWH/day for the month of May. This year we used an average of 28 kWH/day. Sweet.

There are a couple things I did this past month to help as the temperatures began to rise. First I paid more attention to the daily temperatures and kept the windows open during the day as much as possible, particularly if the daily temperature was in the low to mid 70's. Second I opened the windows every night to get the temperature in the house down as much as possible, thus delaying the onset of needing to turn on the air conditioning. Third, we recently installed Vista window film on our house that is designed to reflect incoming heat and UV. With the three above steps of the hot days we experienced during the month of May we did not typically have to hit the air-conditioning button until after 3pm.
