..as a Senior living on a fixed income in Arizona…the cost of power bills are crazy for about 4 months out of the year…I try and manage by doing this and it’s working: bear in mind my home is 3 br-2-bth and about 1900 sq. ft. with high ceilings… well I get up early…5 am…I set the AC @ 78…set a timer for 30-mins only…have ceiling fans in 4 rooms and a large industrial floor fan for the great room…set the fans going…and then turn off the AC..not up…but off…and the house stays very comfortable most of the day until the mid to late afternoon 4 pm to 6 pm..then I repeat the process and then right before bedtime..I repeat again…then turn everything off..except the ceiling fan in my bedroom…take a cool shower…and sleep like a baby all night…this works for me…my bill for March and we had some hot days..was $77.10…my bill for April is $83.28…am not on a level plan with APS (that’s $146.00 a month) so you might try it…as an older person I cannot tolerate the heat…but have found a way to beat it for now…

My dear colleagues Readers
plz give ur attentions.
i have thought and thinked over years and found a solution to heat inside the rooms in hot summers.

I can make a water cooling AC with small mechanical appliances which consumes energy too less and give appropriate coolness and lower inside room temp. in summer.

it will cost only USDs 600/unit.

any manufacturing comapny may invset and win the market by production of these small cooling units and huge marketing.
its for a small room 10×12 sq ft to 12×15 only.

In Hawaii, I have done the insulation, attic and ceiling fans, light colored reflective paint, and window films but have had the best results from adding radiant barrier to the attic and walls and have added shading material that hang from the roof’s eaves. The radiant barrier is supposed to reflect 97% of the amount of heat when installed correctly. My attic used to get up to 145 degrees even with the whole house attic fans in the summer. I added two individual layers to the underside of the roof and another layer that covers the fiberglass insulation that lays on the top of the ceiling. The hotest the attic gets now is in the high 90′s and less heat is radiated into the living spaces. You can test the effect by turning on your stove’s burner to high. You can feel the heat hitting your face but hold a piece of aluminum foil between you and the burner and the heat is reflected away-no heat! oh, remember to turn the stove off! LOL! If you use the insulated type of radiant barrier, I think you can apply for energy tax credits. I used the regular 2-sided aluminum commercial grade but a cheaper type can be found at Home Depot. I also installed in in the walls when I replaced my siding. The shade material(various colors and filtering amounts available) cuts down on the heat coming in through the windows and keeps the outside temperature of the house 10 degrees cooler than the unshaded areas. We don’t have to run our air conditioner unless it gets really hot and humid.

Lots of useful info here. CFL used to be the better option than incandescent bulbs. Now, LED lights are the best–brighter, longer life with power consumption.

Also, keep yourself cool.

Wear all clothes that are short: short skirts, short dresses, short pijamas, shorts, short sleeve or no sleeve shirts, cleavage and open back are just fine, sleep naked.
Long hair can be pinned up to let the neck stay cool or better yet get a short hair cut. The body looses heat mostly from the head and neck.

Wear cotton, linen and silk clothes, that fit loosely and dump the synthetics and jenes (they are too sturdy) during summer.

Drink cold drinks, eat cold food, avoid chocolate, sweets and spices such as peppers and ginger, that heat up your body.

Ditch furry slippers or socks, walk bear foot, or wear flip-flops.
