The fans really don't need to be run. They're better to keep on when the house is occupied because doors are opened and closed more, but when empty all they do is waste electricity. Just keep the thermostat on 82. Tell your friend to do the dishwasher on rinse only -- don't need to do a full wash. If you have a fridge in the house, turn it down to "2" or up to 40 for the freezer. Otherwise, $58 really isn't that unreasonable for last month.
