I wouldn't want to live where you live ... what type of heat do you have and where do you live?

I live in Seattle and have electric heat and all appliances/water heater are electric and we get billed every 2 months. My last bill was around $127 for everything.

When I was in college and lived in a tiny studio apt and never ran the AC my bill was $12.

**Merc..** · 08-16-2007, 12:00 AM

Keep in mind size of the house and the ton of the ac unit or units will effect the bill greatly...

Big ass house big ass bill......

ya, most people in seattle don't even have air conditioning. My girlfriend lives in federal way and I know she doesn't.
What do you do for a living anyways ecivon? I'm in Seattle most every weekend. I'll be going the first of next week to bellsquare

**Panzerfaust** · 08-16-2007, 08:42 PM

You need to check for a leak, you might have some loose duct work.

***G-1000*** · 08-16-2007, 08:47 PM

I keep my ac on 24/7 and mine was $160 and i thought that was high. But i also make sure all lights are off at all times. And when they are on i keep them dim. I dont like a bight house it hurts my eyes.

I find lights and tv's are killer on the power they draw.

Yeah, but high property prices more than make up for it. The monthly rent on an apartment there is more than a lot of you guys pay on your house mortgage.

**BigBlockin** · 08-16-2007, 11:26 PM

Bmp1, do you know what type of air conditioning system you have? You may want to consider installing an evaporative cooler. They would work great in your climate and they're very cost effective/efficient.
