Default Utilities - Premier home

Premier home 3 months, new construction, rear facing south (so no direct western sun), two persons, "cooks" 2 meals per day, small pool with filter running 5 hours per day, keeping summer temps set at 76 degrees, separate HVAC for master turns down to 74 at night. First two bills each $120. We did add extra insulation during construction both in home and over lanai (an option). Do not have electric golf cart. Will wait for cooler temps to open patio doors to lanai.
