re power bill
Some interesting reading there Chris,I think I will get your post printed out and
have a good read of your suggestions.
We turn everything of at the wall plug when not in use-T.V,microwave etc.apparently the average house uses up,up to $150 a year,by just having things on 'stand-by'.
We got these solar power panel thingy's.They appear to save us around $100 on power bills,but it has been cloudy,and winter.Now the days a longer,I will be keen to see what they can do.
I think your suggestion of asking around power companies is very good,even if one simply gets a few percent off from their current provider.
We live in the bush,and are lucky we can light a small fire in our yards,I try to cook a large roast meat meal in camp ovens a couple of times a month,this saves the electric oven been on for many hours.
These solar panel thingy'd may not be a huge saver on bills,but or kids-think about power usage and every now an then have a day,to try and use the least amount of power as we can,and export as much as we can.
Cheers Chris
