Let me set the record straight! Last
year's winter was pretty darn mild. And so were my electric bills
when compared to the year before. Over the four month period November
through February, I used 4,066 kilowatt hours of electricity to run
and warm my home. That was 2,639 kwh less than the winter season
before and represented a 39.4% savings in hard cash! Yowser! This
year I'm hoping we have yet another warm winter thanks to Global
Climate Change. (I think the odds makers are saying we have something
like a 34% chance of a plus 3 degree winter over the norm). If that
comes to pass and along with other improvements I've made, I'm hoping
for a drop yet another 25% off last year. In real terms, that would
be about 1000 kilowatt hours less over the four month period and
would represent one heck of a drop when you average the past two
years out!
I'll post updates on how well I'm doing
after the winter season gets underway.
