My electric bill just doubled

Thank you. The link is pretty incomprehensible to me, but I don't think the price tag attached to it is low enough to take a chance on it anyway.

It could possibly provide extra current to start motors in the well pump, refrigerator, A/C etc. but the saving won't be much. I realize that lawyers write these patents but the fuzzy wording spells SCAM.

Great idea, Pete, but when I redesigned my kitchen I purposely did not install a dishwasher because I think they are a waste of energy and resources. I do something similar though... I wrap M's breakfast in foil and place it on the manifold. It's hot by the time we get to daycare which saves me time and electricity...

You should send that in to Hints From Heloise.

We're gone 8-9 hours of the day, and our electric bill is still $150 per month. Then again, we do loads and loads of laundry a week, and a lot of lights are on in the house all night. Two adults and two girls - we're always in different rooms.

I wish mine was $150. Until this past year we never had a bill over about $140 even during the hot summer months, now I am lucky if it is under $340.

My home is 35 yrs old with baseboard elec. heat. My last bill was 135.00. I heat with wood and have been for last 10 yrs.

Mine was only $42.46 last month and said I only used 295 kWh of power. Somehow, I think I'm going to get screwed next month.
