I think it's usually around $40-50 each month during the summer.

Re: How much does your electric bill go up when you turn on the AC?
about $80 higher with 2 room air conditioners. My parents have a very large colonial with CAC and it went up $300 a month! They ran the CAC constantly at 68. It was wonderful. We only run the room ones at night and it is $80 more.

Re: How much does your electric bill go up when you turn on the AC?
Not much. We have Central A/C and it really doesn't go up more than $50/month on average. Which is a huge difference from the winter when our gas/heating bills go up a few hundred dollars!

$50 a month is a lot for me for electric. Our normal monthly bill is only like $30-$50

Re: How much does your electric bill go up when you turn on the AC?
We have a very small apartment, and our regular electric bill is usually no more than $30-40 TOPS
During the really bad summer months (and esp. because my DH likes to run the air condition 24-7 if I let him   ) it will go up to around $100, sometimes a little more

Us too. It only goes up the last 2 months of the budget, July and August. Went from $91 to $104 but will probably go right back down in September.
