3. 2500 sqft
4. Average 145(July 2017/August 2017) on a 7.6185 cents/kwh plan
-> This will go up as my new plan rate is 8.9556 cents/kwh

Did not do anything special other than shopping around for best flat rates.
Actually the rate was a lot lower in 2016.
House came with insulating blinds installed by the previous owner.

My house from 1970, windows and doors all original and terrible, slightly under insulated but fixing that soon, family home all day so set at 72-74F - my biggest summer bill is typically about $250-$300.

The OP should have asked for people’s electricity _consumption_ (in kWh). Dollars paid on a monthly bill are meaningless without also knowing the billing rate (¢/kWh), which can vary by an order of magnitude between different plans and months.

And if you REALLY want to do a regression on the variables that affect a residential electric bill, all the data you could want is already here: https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/index.php

4. Last bill was $120 through Reliant for summer
Looking back at our average, we usually were between $70 - $80 during other times and our most was like $160 through the last winter.

5. Usually have the thermostat off unless we need heat or cooling. The wife and I can usually stand indoor temps of about 80 degrees before we start cooking or the kids start sweating..
