the RLA seem to indicate that unit is either a 1.5 ton or 2 ton unit. Based on the age, I'd guess it's a 1.5 ton unit.

So I ended up moving out of that house a while ago and getting my own apt. My electric bill has never been over $40.

You are right, E, it is a 2 ton unit. I looked at the wrong number. 2 ton is about right for 1200.

mine was 72 and i'm in a one bedroom. i was pretty pleased cause last summers bill was 82 for the same period and my apt has a large glass window/sliding door which faces the hottest 8 hours of daylight a day

holy crap on some of the monthly bills that have been posted on here. i think the most we (former/current roommates) and i ever had was ~160 i think. and that's between either 3 or 4 people depending on the year. i would have been livid with anything much higher. thermostat hovers 70-72, and the electronics in every one of those apartments... well we were/are nerds.

The homeowner keeps changing it, but usually 74 - 76. There are two thermostats (main floor and basement). We are all pissed. Not much we can do except make sure the measurement was accurate.

Someone could be siphoning power from you. You could shut everything in the house off and check to see if the meter is still turning.
