Electric Progress

September 8th, 2006 at 02:14 am

Be warned: Boring post about electricity usage!

I went online and looked over my last 13 months of electric bills. In August 05, I averaged 68 kwh per day. This August, it was down to 58 per day, despite the fact that the average temperature was 5 degrees higher this year (and the A/C was on non-stop). So I feel like I'm really making progress.

During the summer, when the pool filter and a/c are on, usage varied from 50-58 kwh per day. During the rest of the year, from October through May, it ranged from 22-34.

I'm going to keep tracking this over the next few months and comparing it to the same period last year, to show me that it keeps getting better. I have plenty of room for improvement, too, considering that my kids (and husband) keep every light and television on all the time!

    I don't think it's boring. Smile My dad is obsessed with his meter readings ever since he installed a few solar panels. Even in the summer, in Barstow CA (desert for anyone who doesn't know where that is, halfway between LA and Las Vegas), with the AC running, he's still seen his meter run backwards.
