    Close to the same for me here in Seattle, but my husband doesn’t turn lights off (seriously–ever), so our bill is always a bit higher than yours.

      Costco has smart switches from feit electric, it’s a fairly simple install that should only take you a few hours to do six or seven of them.

      Then anytime you want you can turn off all of those lights from your phone.

      You can also upgrade all of your bulbs to led.

      If you’re paying roughly the same as I am, every watt you cut annually saves you about a dollar.

        I appreciate the recommendation. We are gradually transitioning all of our lights on to Google Assistant because we have already had that for a little while. About a third of our lights are on it, and we have tentative plans to put the rest on it. So that will help a lot.
