live in a two story 1800 sqft home by myself and my girl stays over sometimes, last bill was like 87 bucks, when I had roomates we would avg like 125-140, so 87 seems alittle high. During that month I would leave the AC on like 80 all day, but I`m in the south so I realized my AC would run all day trying to keep the house at 80 since its like 93+ outside.
On days I`m alone I was going to leave AC off all day then when I get off work turn it on for like 3-4 hours to cool the house then turn it off when I sleep ( I keep the ceiling fan on in my room)
out side of AC only things that are plugged in and run all day is my wireless router/modem/printer and flood lights at night outside the crib.
I wash clothes 1-2 times a month usually doing 2 big loads. On days my girl is over I do leave AC on while we sleep just so shes comfortable but I thug it out otherwise. I`m just trying to find tips because my home is all electric so its not like I`m going to see it cut in half when winter comes.

low to mid 80s all summer. I only get the sun on my side of the apt after like 3-4pm so I stay cool. no need for a/c, a fan will do
