Letās talk about our electricity bills using a water analogy.
- Everyone with a swimming pool is experiencing this right now!
During the hottest months, you have to add water to your poolāmaybe every day.
š„ Reality check: You need to know if you have a LEAK or if youāre just losing water by evaporation.
- If you have a leak, you fix it.
- If itās just evaporation, you keep adding water and pray for cooler weather.
š Between the lines: We should think about high electricity bills the same way.
- Instead, we usually do one of three things:
šĀ Try to use less by turning up the thermostat or turning off lights or unplugging vampires.
š§Ā Vampires are loads that drain electricity all the time like televisions or small appliances.
šĀ Try to find a cheaper rate.
šĀ Install solar so weāre generating our own electricity at a better price.
All three of those can be good options.
š£Ā The best place to start is by finding and plugging the holes in your house.
- Yes, your house has more holes in it than you realize.
