We have an At Ease which has 1481 sq. ft air conditioned. Is it reasonable?

Wow! We have an Azalea...bought it end of April and haven't lived in it til a couple weeks ago. Our elec bills have been about $115 with no one here. Guess we'd better get on the ball and have a humidistat installed.

Interesting data. I need to first verify there is not a refrigerator open , but it is unclear to me why it is higher. Has it been hotter or more humid?

FWIW, I also use a humidistat. The thermostat is set to 80 and the humidistat to 60.

It was a very hot summer...and very humid, more than the past few summers I've been here. I live fairly close to Mallory. Rates may have gone up, I haven't really checked, but you can take a look at your bill. Also, the energy surcharge or whatever it's called could be higher this summer than last. Some years it was a credit for us, but this year it wasn't.
