My name is Jared Allen.

My huose is 6969 square feet.

I keep my house temperature at 69 all year round.

I use 6969 kwh/month.

My utility bills come to $696.90/month.

Heat is at 68. On rare occasions do I turn it past 70.

Cooling at 64. I like even numbers for some reason.

You realize how silly this is?

In winter you've decided that it MUST be 68 degrees for you to be comfortable.

But in summer it MUST be 64 degrees.

?!?!?!

I know it doesn't make sense but I seem to be the same way, but about 10 degrees warmer.

That's for a 2,750ish SF house (750 SF below grade). Just my wife and I in the house, no kids.


I'm almost identical - slightly smaller house ~2500, low months 700, high 1750 ish.

Could probably save 20% in warmer months by completely replacing our 24yr old furnace/central air with a new super efficient one, combined with replacement windows, etc.

I've replaced over half of our lights with CFL's, and am careful about leaving lights on, but hasn't made any difference in Kw usage.

I like it cool in my house. If I get cold I can turn it up or put something on. If it's hot you can take everything off and it will still be hot.
