How do those who have very low electric bills achieve that? No AC? gas hot water heater?
No AC, hardly ever run the heater (benefits of living near the coast in San Diego), along with gas water heater, gas dryer, and gas cooking. Almost always right around $25/month for electricity (just a tad under 2,400 sq ft house, but that really doesn't matter - my last place, at a tad under 1,400 sq ft. always had an electricity bill that was around $10/month higher - probably because of its circa 1990 refrigerator, more than anything else).
edit: gas at both places adds from $3-$7/month, depending on how much laundry gets done or if it's in the winter & the heater was run that month.
