They'll probably adjust our monthly bill down to about $100 when the new cycle starts.

Hmmm....its about 95 degree during the day here and 85-90 at night so that might have something to do with it We have energy saving double paned windows but hubby likes it cool in the house so AC is kept pretty low when he is home.
Also we have 2 AC units, one upstairs and one downstairs, a 20x40 pool, and my daughter and I are home during the day (with lots of out of town guests) using tvs and computers all summer so to us it $300 seems reasonable, but could always be better.

Appliances could be part of the the problem. Our appliances aren't directly plugged into the outlets. Using X10 appliance modules can help save energy. Some appliances example, your home entertainment equipment use electricity when they are off to support features that allow them to instantly come on when you hit the on button.
Turning your appliances off using these modules turns the power off from the outlet inhibiting these energy hungry features. These modules can help save you energy and money! In order for the modules to work a X10 transceiver and X10 controller is also needed!
