My summer electricity bill is only
about $50 and I plan on keeping it that way :-)

My house came with them, it's quite an energy efficient
house, even with heat in the winter my energy bills rarely
top $100 (gas and electricity) and it's a 2400sq ft house.
Damnnnnnnnnnnnn...

Gonna be interesting to see my next bill. First one after
installing the dual pane windows and the AC.


Sit down before you open it.

Actually...I *did* need to sit down.

I thought there'd been a mistake.

After a month of running the AC nearly 24/7, while a good portion
of that time it was 110-118 outside (and I had inside to 77 heh), I
expected a bill of around $300. I didn't care, either :p

So I open the bill....$60. SIXTY!!!! And the wattage consumption
was less than it was the same time last year, when we had only 2
window AC units, and we we're outof town for a week during that
time.

So...the house is blissfully cool, and it's costing me pennies in
energy costs.

I be liking this :)



Look on the bill to make sure it's from an actual rather than an
estimated reading and or it encompasses the time you had the ac on. $60
is pretty cheap, I'm suspicious :-)

Me too but,
don't you asswipes in CA get subsidized
electric bills?
:-)

Not in Orange County. On the local news they profiled a family that got
a $1300 electricity bill during the recent heat wave. On the other hand,
if a house has solar power and can generate enough electricity they can
make the meter go backwards and the power company has to pay them.

Unless of course they hook it up incorrectly in which case they can
blow out the entire power grid for 3 or 4 blocks...I'm just
sayin...hire someone who knows what the *** they're doing.

It's a parallel connection Matthew.
You either draw from the grid or contribute to the grid.
I would imagine there is some sort of regulator involved.
Hmmmm......
Why don't you be a good boy, make yourself useful, and google that for
me?

Hey retard, what the *** are you even DOING in this froup? LOL...one
of the all time best malicious hacker type techniques is hooking up
one of those nifty lil Honda, gas powered electric generators up to a
houses electrical system and blowing out teh fuckin power grid.
Yeesh, and you try calling yourself an A26 reg? I thought EVERY "with
it" A26 reg knew about THAT technique. *rolls eyes*
