My dad got a $12 electric bill for april/may. I think that is very positive energy conservative statement/achievement.

the secret- if the humidity is low and the temperature is in the 65/70's don't even think about turning on the air conditioner. Let nature's air conditioner do the work for free. Open all of the windows in your house until the day starts to warm up, then close everything, and now you have a cooler house and a lower electricity bill.
