A $50,000 electric bill? The cost of cooling L.A.’s biggest houses in a heat wave

Abstract

A/C Electric bills vary wildly depending on the size of your home, but according to Energy Sage, the average electricity user in L.A. spends $269 per month on electricity. The average electric bill for the house was $20,000 for the home was $25,000 a year. In June, California residents paid an average of 25.4-over-year. As electricity rates get higher and bills get pricier, more luxury homes are offering alternatives. In Bradbury, a $13.58-million listing for a 16,000-square-foot mega-mansion in Bradbury and Topanga are offering a 12kW solar array with 60 panels that covers all electrical needs, “providing unlimited solar panels, ‘Providing unlimited unlimited’ to help cut costs. The main difference-maker is the age and usage of the A-C unit is the size and use of the air conditioning system.
