Or again like I wrote earlier, if you're really concerned about
electricity, install solar shingles. This isn't a joke. I'm
serious. I installed solar shingles in August and since my September
bill I have received monthly checks from the power company totalling
between $5-25$. If one includes my savings of NOT paying an
electrial bill which avg. $100/ month before the shingles and the
checks I receive. I'll pay off my solar shingle install in 36 mos.
