85% less energy
« on: March 28, 2015, 05:29:35 PM »
We received our annual energy report from the utility company today and it turns out that we're using 85% less electricity than 754 homes of similar square footage!  We're even 36% lower than the "energy star" homes!  This is all thanks to you guys giving me ideas and the occasional facepunch.

Very impressive!

I... um...

I got one of those that said I was using 176% more than my neighbors.  With a spike up to 2700 kwh for a few months in the summer.

In my defense, I was running a serious amount of bitcoin mining hardware in the house & pulling in over $100/day profits on that. :)

Though I should see what we're using now.  It's probably still high. :(

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
