Would you buy new house that has no A/C?

We hit 516kWh... not enough over to worry about (though about 30kWh more than the previous 2 months ~ must be the swamp cooler)

Tier 4 - $0.27/kWh - none
Tier 5 - $0.31/kWh - none

We used 569 kWh for the month but more than half of that is the electric water heater I'm stuck with.

Let's make that .046/kwh more realistic, though. On my last bill, I used 219 kwh. At .046/kwh, that adds up tp $10.074. But you must add to the .046/kwh:
Elec Commodity Adj .037380/kwh
Demand Side Mgmt Cost .001330/kwh
Purch Cap Cost Adj .012130/kwh
Service & Facility (don't know if this is fixed amount, or what; on my bill it's $4.64)
and,
another Service & Facility (don't know if this is fixed amount, or what; on my bill it's $1.95)
There's also a "Renew. Energy Std Adj," on my bill, $0.57

So the billed amount for 219 kwh totals $29.42, or .134/kwh. Then add to that the Franchise Fee of 3% and sales tax (on my bill, adds another $2.14).

The actual .134/kwh is for first tier; I'm well below the threshold for 2nd tier.

So more like $0.10/kWh for the first tier plus the taxes and whatever.
