Geez Joanna, you must be leaking like a sieve to have those electric bills! Our house is about 4000 sq feet and our bill for last month was $70 but we are an all electric "Good Sense" house and we get a special rate. Our A/C and heat both come from our electric heat pump.

This months bill will probably be around $100 (knock on wood again!) Our highest monthly bill has been $200 but that was in the middle of winter when the temps dropped to 0 for a week.

Editing to add, Joanna, I wonder if your swimming pool causes your elec to be so costly, too?
