Our bill for last month (8/26-9/24) was $143 (1101 KWHs) for a designer home with 2 of us. This is with the temperature set to 77. I would start by having the AC checked.

Some background, my tenants moved out in mid-August and the house has been sitting empty since then. I already paid SECO the re-connection fee so this bill is only for electricity used. My management company has closed down the house to the bare minimum, ie. hot water, AC down to 80, sprinkler set at 2 x per week, etc. It is a 3 bedroom, 3 bath designer home. The bill I just received is $158.00 for the month. I have read on this forum previously that electric bills run about $150.00/month and that's with someone living and using the electric all day and night. Now, I'm wondering if they were talking about maybe a smaller home, not a designer. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind that amount if it is normal, I just thought from what I read previously that that is high. And if it is, I need to have SECO look into it.
