Let’s say 30 kWh per day is the norm to run ac in the summer. Assuming $.40 per kWh, which is lower than my PGE rate, that’s $360 per month just to run the ac.

Not sure what kind of setup you have. $100 is my bill if I’m not home in the winter and leave everything off.
- lex-lightning 3y agoI’m picking up a sentiment from the downvotes so let me defend: I’m not lying lol. SMUD time of day. Ran the AC super cold during the night (so it would run the entire off-peak period). Ran it somewhat cool during mid-peak. Didn’t use it at all during peak. Other appliances I only ran at night. Installed lots of insulation at move-in. Like I said in OP, Sacramento. YMMV. But in any case I’d argue $360 is still not expensive per se given the value you’re getting. How many square feet were you cooling? What else was operating? It’s just about perspective. I was responding to the claim that electricity is expensive.
