Seattle is one of the most temperate regions in the USA. Outside of Alaska I doubt there's significantly lower AC use anywhere in the USA.
A quick Google search shows ~60% of households in Washington state don't even own an air conditioner. Compare that to nearly every home in the south, Atlantic states, and Midwest where AC is near universal.
- therealdrag0 3y agoNo disputing that. Though the days of not having AC are numbered. Summers have been having many hot days. It’s 86F today. Anyways all this really shows is to compare inflation what matters is price per kWh over time right? That excludes variations in usage.
- therealdrag0 3y agoAnother thing to keep in mind, my utility company says my household is in the bottom 15 percent of comparable houses! So just because it’s temperate doesn’t mean individual choice can’t make a difference :)
