I don't think our central A/C unit stopped in three months.
Lucky I don't usually use ours because electricity is crazy expensive. But with this weather i have no choice.
I will have yo turn it off this afternoon because rates will skyrocket.
Our's is expensive too. What is the price per kwh there?
its complicated because it depends on the time you're using it and the amount you have already used. It goes from 21 cents a kwh (middle of the night when we haven't used much yet) to 60 cents/kwh

We were much like that in Ontario, where it was about 10 cents per kwh on low peak but up to 22 cents on peak. But now with the pandemic and this newer government, they have sen the rate and 12. 8 cents per kwh, 24/7.

That rate would be amazing! According to the electric company's online calculator it costs us $8-$12 a day just to run the air conditioning in our less than 1,000 sq foot home. Its absolutely ridiculous and I won't pay it.
And thats at tier 1. It would make us hit tier 3 and be way more expensive.
I struggle to keep our bill under $400 and thats not using the air, tv, and hanging laundry.

That is expensive. During this past heat wave, our power bill hit about $266 last month and this month just came in at $222. Our house is 2700 square feet. Lots to cool, or heat.
