Cost of electricity in orlando and surrounding areas? (apartment, house)

[cerveza]

I constantly hear on these forums that the cost of electricity in orlando and its surrounding areas is pretty high. I am trying to figure out how it compares to the area that I presently live outside of Florida.

that being said......

where I live right now:

1 KWH = $0.147091

in plain english it comes out to $0.15 per KWH

based upon this here http://www.fpl.com/rates/pdf/Residential.pdf

if my calculations are correct:

1 KWH = $0.16746

in plain english that seems to come out to $0.17 per KWH

Can somebody look at their electrcity bill and let me know if that sounds right?

To put it in perspective: I currently spend about $75-$100 in the summer (due to air conditioner use) and $150-$200 in the winter (due to electric heating costs) for a one bedroom apartment.

Even though i only have 2 months in Orlando my bill has come out to be $75.00 for the first month and $120.00 for the second month. We'll see. I guess we'll revisit this post in 6 months and I will be able to tell you.....

There are going to be a lot of variables that are going to make the cost per KWH seem insignificant. When I first moved back here It was into a large house with vaulted ceilings, lots of air conditioned yet unusable space, and NO Trees. The last full bill I paid on that place was just over $360 for a month. Now I am in a 2 bedroom apartment middle floor with an eastern exposure, but trees that prevent the early morning sun from shining in. My bill has been about $120 and running everything the same way I was in the old place.

The bottom line is that the amount the air conditioner has to work is "everything".
