Power Bills

We have a small house-I think it's about 1900' sq ft. It's all electric-heat, central air, all appliances. But it's a log house and it's very well insulated. We use a wood stove all winter, and I don't think our electric bill went over $70 per month all year. And in summer, because of the insulation (and living in the woods) we don't even turn on our air unless it's over 90 degrees for several days in a row. So we are very fortunate when it comes to that.

Another thing that helps is, all of the wood that we burn is free. Any dead trees on our property, we cut up for fire wood. And any trees that fall down or are cut down in lots of neighboring areas-people call my husband and ask him to come get it! They give him the wood for free because they just want the trees out of their yard without paying someone to do it!!!
