Using our Heating & A/C units cost so much money
When I first started renting this apartment, I knew that the electric bill was going to cost some money, i asked the landlord about the average cost of electricity in our apartment, plus he told myself and others that the average cost of electricity in our house was around $100.
I took his word for it, plus so far, it has been running steady.
I suppose that I am a pretty heavy user of electricity, so it actually didn’t surprise myself and others that much when I discovered how much electricity would cost! However, I never realized how much of the cost of electricity was just being used by our Heating & A/C units; When I first started renting the apartment, it was the end of winter, plus I was using our gas furnace. In our state, our winters switch pretty severely to summer, plus we only had a few weeks without an Heating & A/C unit. I wasn’t paying attention to the electric bill, so I didn’t notice the difference in the cost of electricity because of the Heating & A/C units. However, I observed a drastic difference in the cost of utilities while turning off our air conditioning system, and normally, with the air conditioning system running, I spend $100 a month. However, with the air conditioning system turned off, I only paid $74 in utilities, this means that I spend $30 a month just on our air conditioning system. I couldn’t know how valuable it was to use the air conditioning system; Part of myself and others wants to just leave the air conditioning system off to save money, however I suppose that I would never stick to that arrangement.
