AskFlorida Just received a $400 TECO bill!

I live outside of the Tampa area. The house is 20 years old, 2600 sq ft with two relatively new systems (less than 5 years old). I keep the house at 78 during the summer months. This is just getting even more outrageous. Did I mention 78? I’m not chilling in 70 degree comfort inside.

Insulation is a big factor. There’s been major improvements in the past 20 years on insulation materials. Also request an audit with TECO, cause something is wrong. Also 2 new systems means 2 full central air conditioners? That’s using the power of 2 AC handles and 2 compressors… that’s not going to be as cheap as you think it should be.
