I live in a one-bedroom apartment with "den" (aka computer room), and am on the top floor of a 3-floor building. Between the relentless Texas sun, and rising heat from the rest of the building, I was in for a shock when I opened my latest electric bill.
It was over $300!!!
I about had puppies on the spot.
Now typically, off season (e.g., not summer), my electric bill runs about $75 - $100. That's doable. But this $300 a month stuff for my little abode about borders on insanity.
My dream is to build a zero-energy, high-efficiency house, where electric bills won't be a problem, but with expenditures like this, on top of $4.00/gal gas prices, and the soaring prices of food, HOW am I ever going to reach that goal in the first place?
