Dryer vs. AC...was it a trade off?

July 7th, 2006 at 01:11 am

I am a bit nervous about my electricity bill this month.

After running my AC ALOT, the bill was only $.27 more than last month, when I barely ran the AC, if I did at all....poor memory, Ive slept since then...But this month, we ran it alot- being as the business is here in the house and DH sleeps during the day, we have to run it almost 24/7 when it is really hot out.

So, ive been pondering how on Earth the bill was so close to last month...

I have heard that sometimes the guys who check the meter skip a month of reading and just guesstimate...perhaps?

But I am hoping, that the fact that I have dried ZERO clothes in the dryer for the past few weeks is more the cause.I have been diligent about hanging our clothes.

Im not sure how else to explain it.

This week is much cooler...and so the AC is off for now....but Im not sure what to expect on next months bill...and I am not like Ima Saver, I do not know what those little dials mean out there...I just know that somedays they turn alot faster than others!!

I guess for now, i will be happy with the still reasonable bill...and hope that it doesnt catch up to me in August!

    This site & others blogs have caused me to begin to learn about things I was just vaguely aware of before. The electric bills.........I'm reading mine now like it was a new novel. Smile Calling their office to ask questions too! Still not into reading that meter, but I know it's in my future. Our bill only gives details every other month, so it makes it difficult to get any sort of monthly check up on our habits here & if we're making progress. The meter would be a way to do that...............another item on the TO DO list here!

    They no longer have to come to your house to read the meter, at least not where I live. They only have to be close to your house. I hope you bill next month is not a surprise. I found that running the dryer for 40 minutes cost me about 30 cents!!
