hello,

I'm looking for feedback regarding an average utility bill on a home with over 3,200 sf (the Sanibel or grandview). There are 3 of us so we are building one of the premier models but curious about electricity bills people are paying. Any information you want to share is appreciated. thank you

Roughly 125-160 per month with a pool pump running 8 hours a day every day plus AC for our Sanibel.

Whoa - tell me your secret I'm 1300 sq.ft and no pool and running about $150
Temperature is set on 77 and the home is 4 years old. What am I doing wrong?

Own a Sanibel... 3050 sq. ft. Pool pump runs about 9 hours/day maintaining 86 in the pool, household thremostat is set for 79 and master BR lowered to 75 a night. We do not heat the pool Nov-March and our year round average bill is about $250/mo.

Our SECO bill for 32 days 6/22-7/24 used 1011 KWH for our Sanibel model built this year.

Total bill with tax $155.58

We keep the house at 77 degrees (Lanai with Western exposure which we only wanted)24 hours a day and run the pool pump 8 hours a day.

Maybe those with higher bills have electric golf carts?

prior to 2011, utilities were high (June-Aug $316 to $247), SECO came out and evaluated problem (pool spa was using according to SECO $80 a month), now utilities run during same months $253 to $182), we keep temperatures on 80 degrees, 3 bedroom/3 bath...

RE: Previous post from espulmano

This figure represents both gas and electric bills... no electric golf cart here.

Like J.P Morgan once said, "If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it." BTW, my Lantana with a pool pump running eight hours a day and the themostat set at 78 degrees has averaged $200 the last couple of months.

New (closed 3/12) expanded 3/3 3200 sq. ft. St. Charles

All electric ...pool pump runs 8 hrs.....thermostats on 77 during day...master 76 at night.... all windows tinted...rear faces east.

Interestingly consistent around $230
