Interesting thread!!!

For some international comparison - I have reverse cycle airconditioning, only turn on the heat maybe 3 times a year. Run the air con upstairs all night every night - on cool, downstairs only when the humidity gets unbearable.

Electric everything except for stove top which uses bottle gas which costs $30 per 6 months (ave).

House is 5 years old, well insulated with cyclone rated laminated gless in all windows aand doors (heavy, thick).

Electricty is about $350 per quarter.

Our ave temps are 18c in the winter and 28c in the summer.

All $ AUD.

Looks like our electricity is quite cheap compared to the US.
