Howdy. I have had a couple of home energy audits done over the years and I am told there are three big enemies in this house. the first and biggest is my sump pumps because the off / on of the pumps runs the bill up. another one I knew about was our big not sure if it is 23 or 24 cubic inch Maytag side by side frost free refrige/ freezer. but what was a surprise to me was the water bed. again the off and on of that heater apparently runs the bill up. I am all for unplugging anything including the can opener to save money. look back at what blind folks had 50 years and more and i think oh boy are we spoiled. especially here in the United States.
