<prompt> Human: I live in a 2 bed 1 bath apartment with 1 roommate. This month we got hit with a 111 electrical bill. This is the first time either of us are living on our own, so we dont know what to expect in some aspects of independence, especially when it comes to billing. According to my ebill, our average temperature is 69. Our apartment complex provides free hot water and heating, so Im not expecting costs to rise during the winter. It also tells me that, this month, weve used 963 kWh. With that, I have a few questions. Firstly, is this a normal level of energy consumption? Or are we using way more than we really should be?Second, what can we do to reduce these bills for the future? The things that are likely pulling the most power are the 2 refrigerators. We have a main in the kitchen, and a mini fridge in the living room for beers and sodas. My desktop computer probably isnt helping, either. I intend on being more diligent about turning off lights and shutting my PC down when its not in use and use it less frequently. What other tips and tricks does reddit have to keep monthly costs low?EDIT: Many of you have made it clear that my AC unit is whats running us up so high. From here on out were gonna keep the AC off unless its totally necessary. Windows will be open and box fans will be on if it gets too hot at night. Thank you all for your suggestions and input  <response>: You didnt pull 963 kWh with two refrigerators and a computer. Thats mostly AC. Set the thermostat higher during the day and open windows at night. Good news is that itll go way down in the winter.
