Thank you SO much Margery....I am constantly trying to find leaks in this department!:smball:

Thanks for this! The prices just continuely rise I find. We are using less energy then last year but paying the same. The world of energy is a crazy place LOL!

for sharing. I can't wait to take a look at your links.

thanks again, Jan

Thank You

updating this, links still work, and they are useful for the fall heating season, energy saving etc

wow, thanks very much - I've been on an electric cut down recently LOL and was looking for an appliance calculater - i'm quite shocked as to how much electricity certain appliances use!!. I'm going to show this to DH and let him see, hopefully we can come up with a plan to reduce some of those costs!

Thanks for these web sites. I am sure that it will come in useful. Agin I am trying to find ways to cut ours down as well. Only Dh and I and still have electric bills between $125 to $150. We are very sledom home during the day. Dh is home in evening but only watches t.v. Very seldom do we have anything extra on.
