High ammonia right out of the tap

So you traded the cold for the heat! lol I have friends in Texas and they dread the summer - too hot to go outside and air conditioning costs more than heating the house.

Thats the truth!!! I moved from Michigan to Louisiana. Its more to A/C then heat thats for sure. When it gets to 90 degrees I am done!!!

My largest powerbill ever in my life was in Iowa. I kept the heat set at 67degrees. I had a charge of $474 one month.

My largest powerbill (same sized house too) in Texas was $180ish, and that was keeping the A/C set at 78.

Are you all electric in Iowa and some propane in Texas? Just curious, because my friends aren't having that experience in Texas. As you are probably aware, I live in WA state and are all electric. I have power bills that high in the winter for one or two months (maybe) - we heat a hangar and travel trailer besides the house, but in the summer it is less than $200 by quite a bit.

All electric in Texas. Iowa was natural gas for furnace and electric to blow it around the home.

I live in WA state, too! I looked up Yelm, and it is pretty far away from here, though.

You just live over the hill from us! LoL. Everyone has a different definition of what "far" means to them. I don't consider anything in the U.S., too far. When our daughter was 17 she drove our car back to Michigan where we were working. When she got there, she thought she would just "hop on over to Cape Cod". (We did have to put a stop to that.) All my family are travelers.

Wow, now that I look at google maps of Washington, the state doesn't seem very large! It only takes a couple of hours to get to seattle, and you are pretty near there.

In the summer here in Louisiana my bill in the summer is 400-500 dollars. I keep the a/c programmed at about 73 when the house is occupied and at 78 when its not. We are also trying to cool a 2800 sq. foot house though to, so that's a factor to the bill as well.
