So Ken, how's it going? It hasn't been too hot yet, but wanted to check in and see if you have an update. Also, I can't find the info you posted about the light bulbs. Would you re-post it here? Thanks! Frogger
Ours was $110 too! Woohoo! I was so happy! That's low for us five! My bad, I just looked at our power bill, it was $108, I was off $2! LOL Even better!
April to May CP&L Power Bill (well, OK, Progress Energy!) HOUSE $56.47, last mo. $79.62 (normal to small size 3 bedrooms) Shop/Barn $19.81, last mo. $18.32 Note: if you have a home shop "out-building" having a seperate power meter can save you money. Farm Buildings are on a diferent RATE plan & pay less in tax. No AC, No Heat, No Dryer, No Debt! We are saving for a purpose & we have a plan. Yipppiieee!!!
You are right, But we try to do 'without' for 60-90 days between seasons... I know by 6/15 we will cave in & turn on some AC. But NOT Much!
Ours was $94, down from around $130. That's a little better, but I have a feeling it could do better still... Frogger
I have it set at 75 during the day, I don't need it to be an ice chest in here. I like it cooler at night and turn it down to 70 with the ceiling fan on full blast! 8)
OK It is soooooooo HOT inside now... Need a good Breeze! Cannot turn on AC yet, Repeat... Cannot turn on AC yet, do not cave in.... Repeat.
Maybe the afternoon storms will cool it down for ya. i haven't turned mine on yet either but then again no one is home during the day and i keep all the blinds closed - wonder what it will feel like when i get home this evening :shock:
Dehumidifier We have one & love it. $5.00 bucks at Basic Needs & looks new! hehehee! I love a DEAL! It is the 3rd one whe have had, same brand & style. Sears, I think. All were deals, one yard sale, one State Surplus and the new one above. They last appx 5 years and were all new to us, but not new!
Dang it! We caved on Friday night as I had a fever/sinus infection hell and DH & Jr. were sweat-bombs. They both are human "heatmisers" and have flames rolling off their heads 12 months a year. No Joke - I have seen steam rise off my DH in the winter.
