[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2228055, member: 29706"] Not exactly. They also have basic information about the size and type of structure. So your home is compared to others that have the same approx square footage and they compare apartments to apartments and houses to houses. I believe that when we signed up and logged in to the site they also asked for the number of people living in the home so that may factor in as well. It would not be fair to compare a 8000 sq foot house to a 1250 sq foot apartment, though having more efficient appliances and hvac equipment is what helps the neighbors out. Shotty I hate having it hot and wish I could keep it at 70-72 and not worry, sadly I have to make sure costs are cut where ever possible or risk not making it through the month. The OGE thermostats likely get data on the costs and allow to save the most but stay comfortable when the cost stays low. I know Austin, TX has something that is basically the same on the water heaters at some places. My step daughter was living in some apartments off of Ridgepoint Drive working for Activision Blizzard. During certain times of the day the power company could turn off the electric water heaters to prevent brownouts. Actually would be a nice added feature with OGE. . . never know when they are kicking on. [/QUOTE]
