We use the 150 kWh bi-monthly rate Nov - May then 450 kWh bi-monthly basic rate May-Nov. This does not include the intermediate 150 kWh bi-monthly rate, which is about 25% higher than the basic rate. Haven't been in DAC for a long time and I don't plan to tease with it. Data Alto Consumo. Have to make do with 600 kWh bi monthly or 300 kWh monthly. Look at your power bill in the USA then tell me how you would fare with humidity never lower than 70% and temperatures never lower than 78F. Kino Bay has higher temperatures than here but significantly lower humidity.
My Vestfrost refrigerator uses 45 amp hours per day at 24vdc. A General Electric 4cf brand new apartment refrigerator used MORE kWh than my Viking. The kids could not believe it. Lack of insulation demanded outrageously oversizing of the cooling unit and they (4) NEVER EVER shut off. The kitchens were hotter than hell. I sold all four for 30% of what I paid for them and replaced them with four SAMSUNG 12 CF refrigerators and the bi-monthly bill went down. Hotel guests made less noise about food spoilage and the School of Hard Knocks struck again.
