It's a larger 1-story home: we've tried to address insulation, low-e glass, and AC SEER ratings. Working and teaching from home = consistent cooling demands throughout the day, every day.
- chefkoch 6y agoFor someone from Europe that sounds insane.
- yaacov 6y agoIt’s just as insane in the US. 10x higher than average in Florida and 30x my small apartment in Washington state.
- shiftpgdn 6y agoYes, but what is your per kwh cost?
- yaacov 6y agoThat’s by far the highest residential power bill I’ve ever heard of anywhere. It’s 10x the Florida average!! Either you have a poorly insulated 25k sqft mansion or your neighbors are siphoning off your power for an indoor weed farm.
