Default SECO bill this month???

Our SECO bill generally runs in the high $40 during the summer when no one is in the home. This month however, the bill was $61. Anyone else have higher than normal bills? Maybe because it has been so hot and the air conditioner is running more?

We had the hottest June on record here this year. Your system may have had to work harder/longer each day.

When we were snowbirds one of the best investments we made was a humidistat.The air conditioner only kickedon if the humidity in the house was high.

Ours went up as well, It was a warmer month than usual. Did you check your billing period? Usually 27 to 30 days, my most recent was a bit over 5 weeks, so that accounted for most of the increase.

I would guess that you do not have a problem with the home and it is just the weather. Although you might look at the KW used and not just the dollars.

We've saved a lot of money because of our humidistat!
