[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep my house much hotter in the summer than I would like and much colder in the winter than seems normal. It sounds vaguely Soviet, but the truth is, doing this saves me $200 to $300 every month.

(I set the air conditioning to 80° in the summer and the heat is 60 or 59 in the winter) [/quote]

Your mansion must be huge.[/quote]

Not necessarily. My house is just under 2k sq feet and managing our thermostat saves hundreds each month. [/quote]

My house is 2500 sq. feet, and we rarely have an electric bill of more than $250 - most often, considerably less.  What would your bill be if you didn't "manage" your thermostat to ridiculous temps?  [/quote]

DP. I have a 3k sqft house, all electric, and we have partial solar to offset the bill. But it's an older house with high ceilings and a ton of windows (all old). We keep the temps just barely uncomfortable and the power bill is routinely $200/mo, was $500 in the freezing cold February we just had. May and September are admittedly almost nothing.

Some houses are just like that and there's no real way to fix it, except to build new with a better design. [/quote]

Ours is 1000 square feet and it’s a few hundred for heat or ac.  [/quote]
