[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 2776305, member: 745"] Our house is over 3100 square feet and our highest bill so far is $198.00. The house is 7 years old. We have two A/C units, one at 5 ton and one at 2 1/2 ton. We keep the house 71 to 73 degrees depending on the humidity. Look for major air leaks around windows and doors. Check to see if your windows are at least double pane. If you have a real fireplace, make sure the damper is closed when the fireplace is not in use. Make sure bathroom vents and kitchen exhaust vents have flappers that close when the units are off. Check to see if attic insulation is adequate and that the soffit vents are not covered up with insulation. Make sure you have adequate attic venting at the peaks of the roof. Give all your ductwork a through inspection. You might be inadvertently cooling the attic! Woody [/QUOTE]
