having lived with AL power for 1/2 my life, i'll say this... it sux. i always had a high power bill with them no matter what i did. is there an electric co-op in your area that you can switch to? it's been a while since i lived there, so i don't remember what co's are down there, but i've found that the co-ops ran cheaper. we have sulphur springs elec. co-op out here in AZ and our bill runs $50-60/mo with them (although we have swamp coolers out here not central AC). in NC we have power with a co-op and it never got higher than $80 there (and we DO have central AC there). in AL it always ran me way higher than that.
