Temps 73 day, 72 night, sometimes lower. Two minisplits in lanai, one in garage, and last summer had a whole house dehumidifier installed in attic that likely runs 24/7. I have it set at 45% because I can’t stand the humidity. I grew up in, and moved from a dry desert climate, so I will never get used to the humidity. Stove and dryer are the only gas appliances. No pool.
Home is a veranda Mason 4 br, 3 bth, 2300 sf + 400 sf lanai that’s always open to the house except when we’re sleeping.
Garage temp is set at 78 unless we need it lower while working out there. Last month’s electric bill was $445. Totally worth it to me for the comfort level we have in our home. Hubby is happy if I’m happy. Winter electric bill is much lower obviously.
