We had our mini heatwave earlier this month. Temps got up to around 91 to 94 degrees 4 days in a row. People weird out here if the temp gets above 75 degrees here.........lol

August is usually our hottest month with the temp getting up to 97 for a few days.

We run the AC about a month or so total for the year. Our house is so well insulated sometime we don't even turn the heat pump on at all for week or more. The use of ceiling fans and those portable fans is usually what we get by with for most of late spring/ summer.

Winter is a different story, our bill for the winter averages about $250 - $300 a month. We have 3 heated dog houses as well as keeping the shop around 45 degrees so the pipes don't freeze. We also use battery tenders on the tractor and the 53 Ford pick up.
From late March till mid November our bill averages about $125 a month.
