Received a natural gas and electrical use report from our utility company today. Nice to see how burning wood saves us money in a graph form. Top dashed lines are show usage for similarly sized homes (top) and high efficiency homes (middle). The bottom line is our home. Take that Mr. Utility Man!
Just love it ! , I'm on budget billing, bill goes down, crew shows up t check the gas meter Have credit with the gas co, good thing
I was gonna say the same thing, a report like that may raise a small red flag and prompt a phone call or a piece of mail your way.
I have no clue how but mine always shows us as high use. They did just change my meter cause it was defective though. Maybe that's why.
I have a forced air hybrid furnace that has a fossil fuel kit. My system works as a heat pump until it hits about 37 degrees and then uses fuel oil for emergency heat. I used to burn around 600 gallons a season. I burned about 70 gallons two years ago and about 100 gallons this season. Burning wood has led me to substantial savings. It is a lot of work but I find that labor to be very satisfying.(With the exception of stacking).
Not sure but I heard they use a lot of electricity. Maybe vac inside the panels, exhaust and ducting and see if that helps at all?
this^^^ they clog up over time and you dont realize thats its taking longer and longer. ours plugged tight last year. we were turning the dryer back on to finish a load. the hose was really old so I just replaced everything.
