I’m not thrilled about it either but what are you gonna do? If I cut the run time on the pool pumps the water gets uncomfortably warm which also bumps chlorine consumption and ph may drop.
At least I can see that there’s something wrong with the climate control and come up with some possible solutions to it like perhaps a supplemental mini split on the kitchen/laundry/garage/office wing of the house or look into some added insulation up in the attic.
Stop lying and post a pic of the mclaren
I can’t judge. I simply can’t afford. 
Wish i was paying 14c/kwh. Around 23c/kwh in Long Island
Who says I can?!? 
wtf. that’s nuts

5 Things Power Companies don’t want you to know.
And
How to discretely run an extension cord from your neighbor’s house.
Luckily it was included with the house, so any benefit I get currently is just “free” energy savings. My understanding is the 2 kW system was the base size included with the house as new construction - the previous owners didn’t upgrade to the larger systems.
If I ever expand, I’d probably want a large enough system to offset electric car charging too. Becomes a large cost vs savings analysis at that point.
Power companies hate this simple trick!
$11 a month to stay connected to the grid. Using approximately 2000 KWH per month. 14.4K solar system was one of the best decisions I ever made. Have had it for about 6 years, and my last 3 cars have been electric. No fuel, no electric bill, no worries! 
Update. Last bill was still in the high $400’s but with cooler weather coming we found a plan with free nights that doesn’t totally suck ass in the peak times.
Shifted car charging to those times as well as pool pumps/features/cleaner to run when it’s free to do so.
The 2 tricks I’ve seen that power companies REALLY HATE
Yeah, I charge the car, run the pool pumps, dishwasher, and whatever else I can schedule to run at off peak at $0.15/kw, but I have to run AC during peak at $0.86/kw, so our utility bill has been $600/mo for the last 3 months. I think it will be lower this month because it’s cooler, and I’ve just been opening the windows at night to cool the house down to 65 degrees. Hopefully, I’ll have solar by next summer, and it won’t be so much.
We used to flip the meter at our fraternity house to run the meter backwards, and then flip it back before the company came out to read the meter. One time we flipped it for too long, and had to turn every electric device in the house so the meter wasn’t negative from the previous reading.
Wow the good old days. Digital Meters that are on a Mesh network definitely defeats that.
I did remember seeing a video where the guy was complaining about his power company because they fined him $5000 for having a magnet next to his meter, and he ‘claimed’ he used it to pick up scrap…yes a magnet with no hook or handle suspiciously 1foot away from the meter.
Sounds like Ferris Bueller!
We average about 700kw hrs during the year, jumps to about 1100 in July and August here in PA with the central AC on. AC which absolutely has seen better days My largest bill was 215 for approx 1200kwhrs. I haven’t exercised the shop around option from our provider since they regularly are the cheapest at roughly $.12 per kwhr. I sure as hell make up for it though in my heating oil bills. Average is about $800 every six weeks from late October to early April. Been thinking about solar or converting to gas from the oil, but just put a new 10k boiler in last year, they told me to add another 10k onto that for the conversion at least. And we’re north facing with lots of woods, not sure how beneficial solar would really be.
Never paid so much for electricity since having to use Duke here in Florida.
At least FL gives you an option. CA does not. Looks like I’m going to pay $500 more this year - New California laws 2024: Income-based electric bills. Law already passed. They’re just figuring out the details now. And I just got solar hoping to save money.
