Your electric bills -- curious to know how much you're paying for power!
It's great to see gas prices going down ($2.29 is the lowest I've seen so far), but sad to say there's not a similar break coming anytime soon from your electric bill. Yeah, the cooler weather means you'll be using less of the AC, but the rates aren't going down.
In Flower Mound, there are at least three different power companies serving customers here. Much of the town is on CoServ. The southside belongs to TXU. Others are on Texas-New Mexico. Is that right? Perhaps some or many of you have switched from your default provider to another electric retail provider.
Curious to know which power company you use, and why you chose them, if you have that choice. Curious to know how big your August bill was, and how big your house is. Of course, you can remain anonymous when you post your comments below.
As for me, our August bill was over $700 for a house with 3,000-ish square feet of cooling space. We're not really good at conserving. Thank goodness we have average-billing set up to even out the monthly bills. We still have TXU because they were the original provider, and because we've been to lazy/chicken to switch to someone besides TXU. What about you?

$2.19 minus 3 cents at the Kroger in Carrollton on Hebron Pkwy and Old Denton.
We use Direct Energy for electricity but are in the process of changing for cheaper rates. Our August bill was $260 for a 2500 square foot house! Our rate was 12 cents a KwH. :)
Paid $2.23 for gas at Wal-Mart Neighborhood on 407 yesterday.
My electric is with Co-Serv. For a 1700 square foot house, August bill was $279.00
Our house is 3300 SF and our last bill was $396. We keep the setting at 80 degrees in the summer during day and at 78 during the night. I guess that helps. Also added some insulation around the doors.

2800 sq. ft. house...avg. bill during summer about $260. We keep downstairs at 77 and upstairs 78-79 (we don't use it a lot so we turn it on when we're up there). I've tried to switch 2 different times but was told we're not allowed to--stuck with CoServ (if anyone has any explanation for that I'd love to know it...only been in HV for a year so don't know the back story to that).
As far as gas, Walmart at 407 is always cheapest. It's currently $2.19 if you pay with a Walmart CC. I just got gas yesterday for $2.15 taking advantage of a $.10 discount at Tom Thumb.
