Yeah, it gets that hot here too. Luckily I'm outside so much in the summer that I'm not really around the house to need to run the A/C much at all. Plus I like it hot.
Oh, you know you want to...~Shard~ said:Canadian of course, why would I pay my bills in USD?
seriously, many of the nice brits here (among others), are often nice enough to convert various prices to USD, because we here stateside can be a little thick - thought you might be doing the same.

My average electic bill was $83 ± 22 each month.
I live in the Los Angeles area in a 3 BR house of approximately 1550 sq ft. We use the AC as needed for a few hours in the evening and on weekends. During the winter the forced air gas heater also uses electricity to blow the air through the ducts. I also have a swimming pool in which I run an energy efficient pool pump for 4 hours each day. My house in a circa 1950 stucco ranch sytle home common in this area post WWII. We pay our bill to So-Cal Edison. No rolling blackouts yet.

I think its between 200 & 300 for my family's house.
We have oil heat though. I have no idea how much that is.
We have a well so there is no water expense

Our last bill was £245.31 for the quarter – that's about $460 in your new-fangled American money. Actually, it's for more like four months rather than a quarter because we moved last year and there 'were issues' with npower (the company who supplies us).
That's to power our little flat entirely over winter – we don't have anything powered by gas. We could probably halve that bill if I could get Miss Jaffa Cake to remember to turn the water and lights off when she's done with them...
