Electrical Excitement: April Recap

Another good month....below the $150 goal for a 30-day period.

I choose the 30-day period to get an accurate figure for proper comparison.  Billing is done with varying days.  For last year the billing period ranged from 26-35 days.  Along with that variation is the variable fuel charge which goes up and down.  The variable fuel charge sometimes makes me feel like I am fighting a losing battle.

I have also continue to use the fan a little more than the previous months so I will have to monitor the electrical impact. 

As mentioned before, it is easier for me to ignore the heat in the day as I am busy doing things and can position myself at a strategically cool location.  At bedtime, that's a different story.  I have to close the curtains, the doors, and some windows.

The good thing is that it has been raining more in the evenings and things just cool down.
