It sure is neat living now days.
I been watching my electricity usage online. I have been working to use less power. That after I got a summer power bill of $300.00 for last month. It looks like it is working. My next bill should be under $200.00 for the month.
It works better for me to watch the daily timeframe than the monthly.
It seems the heater for this apartment uses more power than the AC. I was not aware of that fact it cost more to heat this place than cool it. So I will be glad when the weather gets hot again!

My electric bill was $25 this month. I have a 1000 sq ft house and use the computer and TV all the time. However, I am careful to unplug any device that I am not using. Printers are supposedly a big power drain. I don’t leave chargers plugged in unless in use. I unplug the toaster after each use. My gas bill was $45 this month. I keep the thermostat set to 65 degrees. I am use to living in colder climates. I now live in Southern California. It can get cold here but I think Texas sounds colder.
That is great. I have never seen a $25.00 electric bill.
I have a lot of stuff plugged in all the time. Printer is on all the time. So I am sure I could cut down my bill some.
I got a lot of charges around here.
I need to look around and see what I could turn off.
I use the dish washer everyday.
