In summer we use usually about 80 Kwh a day. Sometimes more on a really hot day. Sometimes less on a milder day.
We replaced our A/C unit four years ago with a more energy efficient unit and the new one uses about 20 percent less electricity than the old one to cool the house.
We keep the thermostat at 74 during the day and 73 at night at the height of summer. We keep the thermostat a little lower the rest of the year.
What's your average summer bill?
