    The Guess My F-ing A/C Bill Contest
    So we just moved into a new 2nd floor apartment on July 15th. I live in a suburb of Dallas-Ft.Worth in TX. It's been 100 or higher every day we've lived here. Here's your background info.

    1. A/C runs non-stop every day from about 1pm-9:30pm and then intermittently overnight.
    2. A/C filter is dirty. Fags from management have still not changed it.
    3. Just put solar screening on a couple windows this past weekend that has reduced the amount of light/heat coming into the apartment I would say by 25%.
    4. Direct Energy is our energy company.

    Fellas, I am scared shitless to see this first bill. We have a friend who lives in the same complex on the 2nd floor who had a $195 electricity bill from June-July when it was 100+ for a lot of that bill. I am estimating that we will see the bill in somewhere between 10-15 days. Since I am probably going to have to go hold up a liquor store to pay for this ... figured I might as well have some fun with this before I go to prison and let you guys take some guesses at what the actual bill will be. I will post an actual picture of the dollar amount when we receive the bill for verification.

    Here's how this works. You get ONE guess only at the price, dollars and cents that the bill will be. This is "Price is Right" style in that the person closest to the actual price without going over will be declared the winner. How do you play? Donate one SBR point [ONE POINT ONLY, PAYMENTS OF MORE THAN ONE POINT WILL BE RETURNED] with your pick and I will match the total # of points received for the final prize amount. So if 30 people enter, then 60 points go to the winner.

    Might be gay, but enjoy my final moments of freedom.

            Just put some extra on the daily Pirates fade and you won't have to worry about August's bills.

                              Since you went through all this it's gotta be up there so I'll say an even 500.

                                I'm not sure what it is ... like I said, the bill should be delivered sometime in the next 10 days or so ... I just think it's going to be astronomical. If I were to make a wager myself, I'd go $309.87. I will really be pretty pleased if it's under $250 ... so fukkin' hot in TX and I am in the epic center of the high pressure where the temp is highest. Granted my car thermometer is probably melted. but today when I got in it said 121 and cooled down to 113 by the time I got to work after a 20 minute ride.

                                  hey eaglesphan. just about every rental place i know supplies tennants with new filters. in fact they want u to change it like every month in the summer. at least thats how it is in louisiana. but also look into your electric company and see if they have 'levelized billing'....may save u some cash

                                  btw, without knowing how many are in your household and what other appliances/cpus you use, i'll say 141

                                            $325, it would help if you told us how many bedrooms it was.

                                                      $234.56

                                                      You should change the filter yourself and if you can not afford the ac to be on like that than turn up the thermostat.

                                                            EaglesPhan you fukk change the filter yourself. I work in HVAC and you need to have a clean filter at all times. If you can't see light through it, you can't get air through it. Don't get those $1 pieces of shit filters either, get 3M filtrete that are around $20 which are much much better. Change every 3 months or so and if dirtier, change it more often.

                                                            Also, don't let ur house get really hot if you can. Your AC can only cool so much so asking it to cool house down to 70 when its 95 inside isn't gonna work. Maybe try getting some kind of circulation in that place to keep air moving around.
