People talk about how saving energy to lower electric bills is easy.
- This really isn’t the case.
It may be for some, but in my situation it really isn’t! The reason for this is because I live in a very old house. And what comes with living in an old house such as this is having to improvise. This goes double when it comes to my heating and air conditioning. I can use all the portable space heaters and portable air conditioning systems I want. Even if I had a ductless mini split air conditioning unit for my cooling, this would not really save too much energy. The way everything is to make today’s energy technology work uses tons of energy. And there is just no way around it! I have used portable space heaters in the past for my heating and it did not lower my electric bill by any more than about 10 dollars. Other people would be saving hundreds a year with more modern homes. But for me it is not this easy at all. Until I can afford to buy another home and move from this one I am stuck. It is an unfortunate situation I just have to keep on dealing with until that time. However I did figure out a way to get my electric bill down about 30 bucks a month. I just do not turn on any lights in the house when I am running any kind of heat or a/c products. I use candles like the old days before they had energy and electric. It works fine for me right now.
