It got cold last night — low 40s — and I switched on my heat.
We had an unseasonably mild winter, and I didn't start monitoring my meter until April so I suppose this is my first experience with electricity consumption via cold weather.
Anyway, I discovered that I want to be even more sparing in my use of heat than I have been in my use of air conditioning because, just in the overnight hours, my consumption skyrocketed.
Yesterday's meter reading was 6390. Today's reading is 6412.
Presumably, that will improve if and when the management rents the unit below me, and I can benefit from that unit's heat. It has been vacant for a few months now.
