Re: Des in Florida - 6 weeks in
No security deposit in the USD500, just usage! We have 3 a/c units and rapidly got them set at 78F but seemingly everything in our house is designed to burn power! The kitchen is like blackpool illuminations and if i cared to change every bulb which blows it would be a full time job! I am not changing them as it saves money! Callowman's comments fit well with my colleagues comments at work. Welcome to the sunshine state, but if you want to keep cool, reach for your check book! Still no SSN (apparently the immigration are now over their 30 day to respond to SSA limit and they can chase them, I am not holding my breath!).
My previous 2,200 sf townhouse had a totally different exposure and lack of radiant heat so I didn't need an air conditioner during the summer/spring/fall but required plenty of heat during the winter so that was $80 per month in the summer/spring/fall and about $200 per month during the winter.

Re: Electric Bills.
We live in a larger house (2 story, 3200 sf with a pool) and even in the height of summer our bill is only in the high $300 range. My wife works from home so the AC is running all day and I like my bedroom cold so the other unit is running all night. Pool pump is on for 10 hours per day and when the kids are home during the summer break all manner of electronic gizmo's and lights are on all the time.
