We just had plantation shutters installed yesterday so we might even have a lower bill, our house is very bright inside so we wanted to control the brightness little more.

We also had a screen installed on our garage door opening about a month ago and I now open the attic steps about a foot from the ceiling. I now can feel a nice breeze going up into the attic when I stand near the attic entrance. Since we installed the garage screen we have since set our inside temperature on 84 degrees, it's hard to believe because I'm normally a hot person.

Wow, the garage screen sounds like a really good idea. Did you put insulation above your garage? I understand they don't come with it.

Yes, we are originally from Baltimore. Yeah, years (31) ago when we first got married BG&E bills were reasonable. We currently live in Pennsylvania and we are with Met-Ed which is cheaper than BG&E but still no where near as low as you are describing in Florida. I sure do look forward to one day having those low utility bills.
