I have a 3 bedroom bungalow style house which has a pool....small wading pool.
I leave the exterior lights on til 4 am, and the pool lights on from 7 pm til midnight. I have 2 refrigerators, a water cooler, washer and dryer and do the bars face clothes etc at home. One bedroom is used very seldom, and the other is used a lot with a/c and television.
My electric has always been at 6,000 and this month was 9,100. Thought I was gonna die. Oh yes, and I keep the a/c in my room on 24 hours a day. When I am not in the room, I set it at 26 so that it doesnt take forever to cool down when I return. When I am in the room it is at 24.
