The average base cost in the US and Florida is much lower than our $1.15 a day, however the cost per KwH is not unreasonable.

I was referring specifically to the daily fixed charge. You are correct that there is some usage in the summer, but it is nowhere near what someone running the A/C all day uses. We keep the thermostat set at 80 when gone with the dehumidifier doing the bulk of the work. Fridge and router use some juice, but since the doors are never opened, less power to maintain the temp.
