Your bill is around the same (low $100s) as me during summer as when I lived in Vegas... both under 1200 sq feet. It drops down to around $60 on all other months. For both my homes it's been beneficial to leave AC running day & night at around 76-77 degrees. I only set it to 80 degrees when on a trip over a week.

The biggest energy users are anything that makes things hot or cold. That extra fridge and/or freezer in the garage is costly.TV and other gadgets only use a small %. That "turn the light off when not in the room" quote is more of a save your lightbulb life than a noticeable AC bill.

My gas started out between $30-40 for the first year. But doing bulk cooking rather than every day dropped it this month to $19.
