Electricity Bills Information

outside their houses I mean what about their electrical bills, aren’t they going to rise if you have that many Christmas lights on?

2. Heat your home at 68° or cooler with the thermostat fan switch on "auto." To save even more, lower your thermostat to 65° or cooler at bedtime or when you’re away from home. 7. Limit the time you run your pool pump:

Winter – no more than four hours a day

3. Install a programmable thermostat to adjust the temperature automatically and maximize your energy savings. It also helps to maintain a comfortable temperature when you wake up or return home. 8. Adjust the water level on your washing machine to match the load size, especially when using hot water. Always use a cold rinse.

We live in TX and are gone all day but it is running in the 105 range down here?

I lived full time in a 30 ft fifth wheel w/slide outs for over two years in Northwest Washington state, just south of the Canadian border.

I don’t know how rates compare, and obviously the need there was for heat rather than A/C, however, it should be able to give you a ball park idea of costs.

During the winter, when heating was neccessary almost 24/7, and we used electric space heaters, our electricity costs ran around $50 a month. At least one of us was home most all the time, and there were two TV’s, video game consoles, and a computer running usually, plus refrigerator, and electric cooking appliances, and two electric blankets at night.

During the summer, spring and fall, electricity was closer to $15-25, which included a few days of A/C, but not many.

Hope this gives a bit of an idea.
Enjoy!
