In 2012 we replaced that TV with an Vizio 60" LED HD TV and our bills as I mentioned earlier are in the $80 - $90 range. We also operate a 42" Samsung LED HD TV in the bedroom since the beginning. It seems a Plasma TV was adding 75 cents to a $1 per day to our electricity. We have the Carrier unit that came with our home, I believe it's a 2 ton unit, which is really more than necessary for our 1150 SF.

The half a kwh/day drop this year is likely nearly completely explained by the slightly higher setting we left the thermostat at this year versus last, so there doesn't appear to be anything unusual going on with the rates and the average temperatures look about the same this year as last.

Do you have a humidistat? I think you would save a bit more if you had one.
