Just imagine - if you ever downsize, you'll be used to using less energy, and your bills will be absolutely tiny!

Our energy bills jumped when we moved in. Like you we underestimated the energy costs, and now are adjusting our budget. Sure is no fun to be paying those amounts every month.

I have family in MD, so I know they're feeling the pain even more. Once summertime comes around though, we'll be the ones in pain while you guys are enjoying the small bills.

I guess since the city owns / runs the utility, it's in their best interest to maximize efficiency. Still, you got a great service for a tiny cost, and you'll save money every month from here on out. Our local utility is privately owned and doesn't offer anything like that, unfortunately. A couple years down the line I may have to look at getting an independent energy audit to see the weak spots.

I was getting worried about how cold it was getting and how much I was spending to heat our home. I scheduled an energy audit of my house, and because of incentives offered by the utility company and the city I live in, I was able to get about $1200 of goods and services (insulation installation, HVAC tune-up) for $70 out-of-pocket. Plus, savings on my bill later on down the road due to better efficiency. I recently posted an article on my blog about the same issue.

In these parts, adding insulation and searching for other ways to cut back are no insurance of lower costs, but they help. Sometimes, though, it's just not enough - especially when costs rise at astronomical rates, such as this year in heating oil!
