Reading the meter

June 21st, 2006 at 04:48 pm

I have been reading the meter everyday around noon. We did not do too well yesterday. We used 47 kwh for one day, for a cost of about $4.28.
I did keep the a/c off up stairs almost the whole day and it got to over 80 degrees upstairs. I kept the downstairs air set at 76, but my husband complained it was too hot, so I turned it down to 74 last night.
I ran the dishwasher, one load of clothes and one load in the dryer. I ran the dryer at night, so i don't know how many kwh's it used, but, I think quite a few. Now I know why so many of you line dry your clothes!

    often if you use your major appliance off peak (night and early mornings) it can be much chaper than using it during the peak hours. Where i live peak is from 7 am to about 8 pm in the summer. I usually do laundary and stuff late at night and hang it outside then too, or if it has to go in the dryer that is when i put it in for about 10 minutes only.

    Do you know what your peak time is?
