One of our biggest expenses is my power consumption. The water heater valve locked open a few months back and I had a eight hundred dollar power. Yes I did say $800.00. This was a big eye opener for my family to become more energy efficiency. Like normal we started to watching our light usage and stop leaving on TV and such longer that needed. It took over six months for the power bill to become more manageable since this winters home heating did not run as much as normal.
