EEEEEEEEK! Ok I know I use a lot of power (3 large tanks, 3 smaller ones, 2 dehumidifiers etc.) but looking at the actual consumption is scary! Last month my bill reading (April 23-May21) I used 2315 kWh the really scary part is my A/C units having been running for most of June so my next bill will be even more My cost (with enmax locked in at 8 cents) is around $300/month. FYI MTS with large tanks sucks!

Wow!

In the last little while have any of you encorporated any equipment or changes that had huge impacts, hopefully for the better, on your bills?

I also do some of the little stuff that you mentioned Mike; line or hang drying clothes, etc. It actually really helps out.

I don't have any conventional light bulbs & very few CFLs or fluorescents left in the house, mostly LEDs now. Also have ceiling fans in each bedroom & dining room now. This cuts down on the need for AC in those rooms.
