Our AC consumes exactly 2,927 watts when it is on, likewise our fridge uses 104 watts.

Our monthly AC cosumption is exactly 496,120 watts or 496.1 kWH. This for a 2230 sq ft concrete block home with 9' walls set to 77 degrees with R38 ceiling insulation. This includes over week of our vacation where it was set at 84.

By far AC is the largest consumer of juice, however there are a number of items that consume power all the time (ghost watts) averaging 100 to 200 watts 24/7 or 73.2 to 146.4 kWH monthly.

To quote dollars to operate an appliance is somewhat misleading depending upon your utility but you can be reasonably accurate at 11.2 cents per kWH. So my AC costs $55.56 this month not including customer charges, taxes and other fees. Keeping in mind it's over a dollar a day to simply have electric service with SECO in customer service fees.

Data based upon a whole house energy monitor collecting 100,000 points of data per second for six years or 18.9 trillion points of reference.

Any questions on energy consumption in TV, ask away.

TLDR: no your bill is not high.
