Our electric bills have suddenly gone sharply down in the last three months. Like, 30% or so. Debb and I have been trying to figure out why this could be–we haven’t really changed much, and in fact, rates have increased in our area. And rates wouldn’t matter, anyway, our bill have a little bar chart of electric usage, and we can see the amount of energy we’ve been using has significantly dropped.
The best we can figure is that we changed nearly all our lightbulbs to fluorescents. That’s the only difference we can pinpoint. And if that’s true, buying them on sale at Home Depot–8 bucks for four of em–is really paying off. Screw the “will give savings over two years” bit, they’re already saving us money.
