[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ouch. My wallet hurts. 1700-square-foot house, 85 years old. New double-pane windows, new attic insulation. $250/month May through September. 80 during the day and 76 at night. We turn off lights and appliances when not in use. Gas cooking and heat. What are we doing wrong???[/quote] Get an energy audit done. Based on that we got solar attic fans on our roof as well as over our garage. Our garage is quite cool because of that. New energy efficient windows as well as light-blocking blinds. Extra attic insulation (we went higher than the recommended) and finally we got solar panels. The solar panels also provides great insulation to the house in Summer as well as Winter. [/quote]
