Logged on to my electric company web site and was able to get some pretty fancy reports on my account. Most reports say my usage is lower than the average for my neighborhood. Especially the always on usage. The hourly graphs show that my usage pretty much follow the days temps up and down.

They have a summer rate thing that prices electricity at $.05 for off peak ours and $.18 for peak 2pm to 7pm. My usage history shows it will save me about $20 a month if I don't do anything any different. More if I use their thermostat so the ac runs less during peak alerts they send out, which are during the peak times, but not necessarily the entire peak time or every day. And it runs the ac an hour before the alert time to cool your house below your set temp so it will remain cooler during the peak alert shut down time. Kind of interesting. If it gets uncomfortable you can set it back to your regular temps. Also has a no risk guarantee, if at the end of 12 months if you electric bill is higher, they give you the difference back.

Signed up for an energy audit where they have someone come out and check everything usage, insulation, etc. then make recommendations for lowering energy bills. Will be interesting to see what they find.
