Does it cost more to heat/cool a house that is minimally furnished (one bedroom is completely empty) vs one that is furnished at a more "normal" level? TIA

Yowzer! Have you heard the news today (oh boy)? 19% increase in gas prices as 10% in electricity from our friends at Scottish Power. Man alive! That's around 48p per day on average for a dual fuel customer. Talk about heat or eat! I'm sure the others will follow suit so I'm spending today...

We invested in 2 netbooks for homeschooling. Nothing fancy, as minimal cost as possible(we do get school funding for this so it is refunded, regardless). I am wondering, is it more efficient to run the computers without the charges, when low, charge them, then unplug again when charged? The...

So I know I'm not super active on this site, but if anyone has kept up with a few of my posts they would know that we are currently living in a toxic roommate situation and are trying to buy a house to move out. We found a house that is perfect for us. Not too big (1100 sq ft), in a mixed...
