Here's hoping for the winter you have oil heat (buy the number of gallons you used last year for the whole winter heating season in August when the price per gallon is low due to low demand!)
Down here the biggest problem is running the A/C when the temperature outside is 96, the humidity can be cut with a dull #11 Xacto and the Heat Index is 106!
I keep this place at between 79 and 80 degrees and my electric bill last month was $225.74 for a little 1265 square foot house! And there are still the August and September bills (both ususally warmer than July) before the heat starts to taper off in late October!
