neighbors


Guest post from: Constance Rodgers
We decided to shopelectrcityratestexas.com this year after we were talking to our neighbors over dinner and they told us what their energy bill ran. Our homes are really similar, built in the same style, in the early nineties. Basically, they have the same weatherproofing and are suppose to be really efficient. Their energy bill was a lot less expensive than ours. I knew they weren’t better at conserving energy because their house is always a very comfortable temperature and every light in the house is usually on because of their children. It turns out that they were using a different energy provider than we were. I figured that all the providers were about the same so didn’t really worry about who we were using. After I learned about how much more money we were spending, we switched as quickly as I could. No, we are just going to have to figure out what to do with all of the money that we are saving! Maybe we spend the money on a new fridge!
