BTW. Thank goodness we have finally cooled off! ::Banana::

Same on mine and I swear at one point during the worst of the heat it reported "owned" rather than a time...........:nutkick:Quote:

By comparison, this was almost $100 less than what TXU charged us for July for the 1900 sq. ft. home in North Richland Hills.
FEC rocks! ::Banana:: TXU sucks! ::BaHump::
Did I mention Verizon FIOS is cheaper than Charter cable as well? :mrgreen:

I'm looking at getting some solar screens for at least the south and west facing windows (that's most of the windows in the house).
>Edit> BTW my place is 1350 sq. ft. and HVAC is single zone. Water heater and heat are gas; stove is electric.
20.1 cents per sf. $402 for 2000 sf. We are all electric and have service form the county electric co-op.Quote:

Worst part is we have a two story and the HVAC is non-zoned. So no matter what you set the thermostat to, the upstairs is always hot.
Oh, and most of our appliances are gas, so they don't even factor into the electric bill. But our last gas bill was the highest ever for the summer, too. Which is great since we're not really using the stove, oven or any hot water to speak of. Can't wait for the gas bill this winter...
TXU -->::BigWhack <-- Me
$180 for 2100 s.f.= 11.7 cent per s.f.- A Johnson County Co-op. Not too bad, but my water bill is high.
Talking to the walls again, eh?Quote:
