Go right now to your electric/gas provider and look at their energy programs. I was wondering if ours offered rebates for things like new windows. Haven’t found that yet, but I did learn about two other energy programs
. Two turn your AC off on hihg-use days (one has no monetary value, the other is $8/month for 4 months). The other is the same on your water heater, at $2/month all year ’round. I’m sure I’ve seen these before but never did them (or maybe they are new). So perhaps it’s time for you to check yours out again as well!
Since we don’t use much hot water (two showers, 4 dishwasher runs, and less than one washer load a week), I think we’ll be signing up for the last one. I’m hoping for the AC one that comes with money, but I’m not sure if Eric will go for it. He and the baby are the ones who will be worst hit by it happening during the day. Me–I’d live without AC 99% of the time if I had a choice. Plus, I get to work in a refrigerated office all summer long. [The heat/cool regulator is not on our floor. It’s an icebox in the summer. I walk around in sweatshirts. I look strange when outside because I never remember to take them off and walk around in 90 degree blaxing sun in a sweatshirt.]

My sister is, in case nobody has noticed, weird.
Practical in many ways, but weird nonetheless.
