July Electric Bill

All,

Just got my July electric bill, and as promised I will post that result...

$188.02
2077 KWH
29 day period on the meter, ending 5 Aug 2011

Our daily high temperatures were pretty all much in the 104 to 106 range for this entire period, and the nightime lows were almost always around 78 degrees.  Not a drop of rain in this period, and almost always full sun with no clouds.  (yes, 105 degrees with sun is worse than 105 degrees under clouds).  I would also say our average dewpoint was a tad higher than Texas norm and I'm guessing around 70 degrees. 

If you read my blog for the last 18 months, I once said our climate is "profuse"...    I think the above paragraph pretty much sums that word up...

But, as unhappy as I am with our climate, the house sure is performing well...

OH, one more note.  Since this meter was read, a few days ago, we miraculously got about 1/2 inch of rain, which was a single thunderstorm just over our neighborhood.  Might just save our trees.  Anyway, my neighbor's geo loops are running very hot, about 115 degrees returning from the ground.  We have been discussing what options they have, and his geo contractor is in the loop, it will be interesting to find out what they come up with...

OK, off to bed...
