The climate is mild here so I never use a/c, even when it reached an all time record 112. I think the house (1367sf) got up to 83 that day, which wasn't bad, but I could feel the radiant heat.
My electricity use is 2.3 kwh per day ($6 month) and I only use gas for the hot water heater. I very much want to either convert the water heater to electric, or to build a solar water heater, depending on cost. The gas use is 3 therms a month ($6) mostly for the cost of generating the bill. The bills used to be a lot higher and so I did a lot of things to reduce them. Now I want to get rid of the gas bill, and keep working on getting rid of electric. I would love to be completely off the grid.
The gas bill used to be quite high from using gas heat in the winter.
I got a wood stove and haven't used the furnace for 8 years. I got rid of the gas range last winter.
The honda gets extremely hot though. I'm thinking of painting it white.
