I can average a bill of $75 - $100 a month as I never do laundry during the week, dishwasher only runs at night and televisions are also always off during peak hours. Anything that requires higher levels of energy are off. <br /><br />To avoid using AC, I also keep windows open at night, and closed during the day. I try only having it run when it is Christine MommyMatterhttp://www.mommymatter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858371658025206367.post-81727929879973434382012-05-14T19:17:30.528-04:002012-05-14T19:17:30.528-04:00Thanks for the great tips.Thanks for the great tips.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291564865562951350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858371658025206367.post-46399099289485010992012-05-14T11:54:19.560-04:002012-05-14T11:54:19.560-04:00This is awesome information!

Surprisingly, no one gets disturbed during my late night cleaning sessions and *I* don't get disturbed or distracted either! The downside is me going to bed much later than everyone else in the house :( lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251507898309184477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858371658025206367.post-31399428252333679432012-05-14T07:50:31.350-04:002012-05-14T07:50:31.350-04:00I have never been a fan of upstairs laundry rooms ...I have never been a fan of upstairs laundry rooms - ours was in the basement growing up, and is in our house - no one gets disturbed!Ashley P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09025542342920593028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858371658025206367.post-42621490675852356212012-05-14T07:07:59.821-04:002012-05-14T07:07:59.821-04:00We thought we had it made when we moved to our new...We thought we had it made when we moved to our new house that had the laundry on the upper level with the bedrooms.
