Can you help me w/ electric bill?

Re: Can you help me w/ electric bill?

My water heater is gas, too, but I have turned it down. I may not save much money, but it will conserve a consumable energy source. Oh, and here in Maryland, BGE raised the rates 83%. They had been capped some years ago I guess (I just moved here in Dec.), so they uncapped them. Fortunately, the gov't is making them hold the comsumer cost to just a 15% increase for a year or two and then phase in the rest of the hike. And we'll be gone to Colorado by then! Thank Heavens!

I am going to purchase a 1,800 ft extension cord and get my electricity from Idaho!

We bought several flourescent light bulbs to help cut down on electric costs, but the bulbs are much more expensive than the regular bulbs which are free after rebate at Menards when on sale.

Sure they cost more in the beginning but what they save you in electricity makes them end up more than paying for themselves. I hatted to spend that kind of money for a light bulb but it was worth it. I just bought them one at a time as I had a few extra dollars to spend.
