How much are you paying for electricity this summer?

Question:

This summer, so far, has been strange. Much of the Northeast has seen very wet weather and it’s pretty cool there too. It’s been ridiculously hot in the Mid- South.

With the (kind of) strange weather, how is your electricity bill looking and now does it compare to last year?

Answer:

I live in Mississippi and it’s been hot. Every time I watch the news, the same three words come up: Hot, Humid, and Hazy.

Our electric bill is actually very similar to last year’s prices. We own a 3 bedroom 1200 sq. ft. house and it was around $120 last month, which was the same as last year. We try to keep the house between 72 and 75 degrees and I try not to use the oven too much in the summer at all.
