We are not complaining; but both our smart thermostat and our utility bill say we used less energy last month than the same time last year even though the summer was warmer. We’re hoping for a mild fall and a short winter. But with all the weird weather we have been having, we would be happy for “normal” seasons. Right now, strange and unusual is the new normal.
Ironically we have had a cooler than normal summer here in SoCal as well. Usually have power bills over $200, but so far significantly less. Hope I don’t jinx it by posting this. Does not bother me to not run the A/C so much.
