When we left to go back to RI on July 10 we shut off the hot water and set the air at 78 and left the living room ceiling fan on low. The electric company is Seco Energy. We are driving from RI to our place at Phillips Villas next Monday. Are we going to have a $300 monthly electric bill when we live there? The electric company is supposed to come out to re-read the meter soon. Anyone else dispute their electric bill? Do you agree that my bill seems really high and, if so, what should I do next?

In my opinion 78 when out of town wastes electricity.

"FPL recommends programming thermostats at 72 degrees for just two hours each morning before sunrise and at 88 degrees the rest of the time. This will help prevent mold by removing moisture from the air during the cooler hours, when relative humidity (RH) is highest and your A/C runs most efficiently."
Highly recommend an Internet accessible thermostat so you can get warnings if humidity levels rise.
