Our Home Energy Reduction Continues
Affording a solar energy system for our home means drastically reducing the amount of energy we use at home. We have been on a conservation and efficiency binge for several months now.
While not all our planned strategies are yet in place, the few changes we have made are bringing great results.
Comparing October 2007 with October 2008, we reduced our kilowatt-hours by 53.5 percent! We averaged 18.1 kilowatt-hours per day, our lowest use ever.
During the Thanksgiving holidays we had house guests for several days. We cooked more, used more hot water, used the clothes dryer more, and heated more rooms.
So November will show more kilowatt-hours used than October. But I still think we can beat our November 2007 energy consumption.
