I hear you. We don't have rain, but holy $^@& has it been HOT. I'm not driving the Jeep when it's 100+. 

Need this heat to break. My last electric bill was $574 :a102:

We have 1,750 SF of space that we keep at 76. AC runs constantly.

Never paid more than $275 in a month.

We're at around 2300 sf on three levels with two heat pumps, annual average is $148.50 for electricity (there is no gas).  We have two exposed walls and a lot of glass there.  My last bill was $183.

We're fully exposed so there is no break on that one. It gets hot here very early and stays very late. We have not been under 80 at night but maybe 5 times since June 1.

Our issue is that the house was built in the early '70s, and has basically anything original that's still working because the landlord is a cheapskate. I actually just had to get a toilet leak fixed and realized our toilet was manufactured in 1973. 

So, original (single pane, drafty) windows. Original insulation, if they bothered to put any in at all. Probably original a/c unit; if not it's still not some new efficient model. 

So the house is about as inefficient as any that you've ever seen. We've got 5 refrigerators, I work from home so I use a fair bit of electricity during the day, so even our baseline winter costs run about $100. 

And then you add on high California electricity prices and a heat wave, and it spikes like crazy during about 2 1/2 months during the summer. 

At least I don't heat the house at all during the winter. That's one nice thing about California. Never gets cold enough even in this drafty house to do that. So my winter natural gas bill barely moves compared to summer.

Yeah, no heat here in the "Winter" months for us. I can count on one hand the number of times we've used it. We don't have gas here so heat is really expensive.

We've got low 60s overnight coming up, and even one low of 58 Sunday night into Monday morning.  This is California-cold, gonna need to dig out my heavy coat.

I don't miss those huge swings where you go from heat in the morning to AC in the afternoon.
