Plus we signed up to have the AC cycle during peak hours. Nemo's room gets really hot because of the building's alignment with the sun so I need to get some blackout curtains to see if that'll help. Anyway, our bill is now $150 during the summer, though we recently tried an experiment where we had the temperature start to go down at 4 pm instead of 5 pm... cost us an extra $80 last month!
