Electric bill dropped $10. What are you doing to be green?

Nice SH.
I buy nothing but Energy Star products, a little more expensive but save in the long run. I believe their are some energy efficient
sump pumps too, SH.

We have whole house AC but we turn it off at night and use a ES 6000 btu in the bedroom window.

I'm looking at a Bosch tank less system to replace my hot water heater tank.
Not cheap but very energy efficient. Several of their systems are eligible for up to
a $1500 tax rebate. I have a feeling the installation won't be cheap.

As mentioned before, i turn off my computer and LCD TV with a wall switch at night.

My mum just had a tankless system installed and she loves it. Has definitely seen a decrease in her gas costs, especially during the summer when the heat is off (her oven/stove is electric).

If you want more info on the work she had done and how much it cost, shoot me a pm.

I am going to look into that since I am due for a hot water heater but isn't the tankless electric? Never been a believer in heating anything with electric current....I like burning something directly to produce heat.

SM, they also make natural gas and a propane unit.

Thanks JD for the offer. I called a dealer today in area. A unit 2400 series
that would replace my 40 gal tank runs around $2100 installed with a
$25 rebate from my utility Co. no tax rebate. Will run a shower and dishwasher at the same time. 82% efficient.

The larger unit 2700 series is $3900 installed $300 utility rebate and is eligible for the the 30% tax rebate and will do a 2 bathroom home. 90% efficient.

For a young guy who will be in his home for 10-15 years would prolly be well
worth it, but I only have I have 1 bathroom and can get an Energy Star tank for
$600. Should be more efficient than the 25yr old one i have now.

We have an oil furnace for heat and hot water that is tankless. The furnace probably kicks on more often than a regular one but you are only heating essentially just the water your usingat the time. Never had a problem with running out of hot water. Unless it was being used for multiple things at once, like laundry and showers at the same time. etc...

This past April I installed a 3.5 Ton 17 SEER R410A Puron condenser for my house my electric bill should be a little bit softer.....But we'll see next month after this heat wave passé's

I'm not making as much money as I use to. It saves on ink and paper.
