Everything is done to make sure what happened during I believe it was 95 or 96 never happens again.

We have non-shut off days both in the summer and winter if it gets and stays over or under a certain temperature for several days.
Now I want to see something, can you still check your daily electric usage? If so, could I possibly have your kilowatt usage when you get your bill since we had the same number of 100+ degree days last month that you are having this month.
The average kilowatt usage last month here was 1002.
