- How much can you save by cooling individual rooms over the whole house this summer?
I saved $250 off my cell phone bill with Mint Mobile. Check them out to see if you can save as well: fbuy.me/uUHaQ
I like your duvet set, I used to have that one many years ago. Very pretty.
Thanks, it is super old, like 15 years old. I wash it several times a year, and it has held up well from washer to dryer. I have a thicker, heavier one I use for cold months.
Many years ago now, our main house a/c went out and needed to be replaced, but at that time we couldn't afford to replace it, so we got a window a/c unit for our bedroom too, and at least had that one room we could go into to lie down and cool off. And yes, we saved a lot of money on our electric bill by doing that. Since then of course we've had our main a/c unit for the whole house replaced, but it does cost a lot of money every month for electricity to run it. We're on balanced billing which helps some, but the bill is still high though.
Yeah, I feel ya. I turn the central on for visitor and the grand kittens. When we had that stretch of 110+ heat wave last year, it ran me $7 a day to cool the house. Which when you think about it in those terms is totally worth it except that the central could not get the house cooler than the mid to upper 80's during that high heat wave, even though I have more than R30 in the attic. I really don't sleep well that warm.
I even cut my heater off at nights during the winter as long as we are above freezing. I grew up without AC, but I don't want to grow old without it! I like this Midea unit because it is U shaped, so there is not a large window gap. I feel safe with it as everything is screwed in place and the AC also has built in locking mechanism to prevent the window from opening. I also like that it is very quiet. It was nice to spend this month's $50 savings on some preps for the house and gaming gifts for my friends at the senior center.

You did not mention the size of your home? My home is insulated. I use my central 'AC when the temp goes above 79 degrees. My cost is opposite yours. HC goes way down in the summer, and the heat goes up during the Winter. If most folks would leave the thermostat alone, they would have a lower bill. I use a ceiling fan and a tower fan in the bedroom, I hate sleeping hot. My bill in the summer is about 120 a month, or less if the temp does not go over 95. lol Could you please tell GOD' to stop taking my socks from the dryer, and when I drop something, it should not run away under something. lol.
My house is about 1400 square feet. I have at least R30 insulation in the attic- added R30 on top of what was already there 2 years ago. We had actual temperatures of 110 or more for many consecutive days last year. I don't ever remember such a hot summer. I am happy to be saving money, but my bigger concern with my lungs is that on the days that we had actual temperatures between 110-115, my house would not cool and the power company was threatening rolling black outs. I have had too many bouts of pneumonia which has caused scar tissue in my lungs. I need help in cooling my body. There is about $30 of tack on fees that the power company charges including service fee, fuel fees, some recovery fees and something to do with a fee to help update the Texas power grid. Electricity usually runs me less than $50 a month, except for the 5 months of summer which ranged from $95 to $200 with one at $218. It was a very hot summer and I have no trees to give shade to my home. 2 years of drought damaged/killed them. I had to have them removed like many of my neighbors.
@@rusticgardenretreat4892 WOW" It is hot there! every single power company adds on so many fees, that equal to a third of your bill WE even have a poor person fee. 1600sf. I have tree coverage until 10:30 am. So this helps., a bit. I have an underground water supply that allows water for the trees here. We both have added more insulation. I all so put on a temp house wrap. I have a basement area that stays cool. We have to do whatever it takes to keep our bills lower.
