rock on energy star

October 5th, 2007

I know. Four posts in one day. Its feast or famine around here lately, huh?

But anyway.. the point.

I've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new electric/gas bill to see if replacing Goldie the monster side by side with an energy star model would reduce the bill. I am happy, no, delighted to report that two weeks from installation to meter reading and we already have a savings of slightly over twenty dollars. Twenty dollars in two weeks. Which is right about what I thought Goldie was costing us to run per month.. yowza!

Next month's bill will be the real test.. but I'm already pleased.

Around a year ago on this day..

    Wow, that’s AWESOME. The crazy $$$ energy bills are lighting a fire under my ass to replace our sad, broken-down hot water heater even more than the “will there be hot water this morning?” lottery. I just got one of those kill-a-watt energy monitors, and though the (inefficient, thermal-leaky) oven and the hot water “heater” are gas. It’ll be interesting to see what all the computers are actually costing us. Bleh.
