I have been trying to be more energy conscious because I don’t have a lot of money to spend on electricity. I keep my thermostat set at 60 when I’m not home and turn it up to 65-67 degrees when I’m there. I have been very careful about not turning on more lights than I need and turning them off when I leave the room. However, my bill has gone up steadily over the last three months. I cannot afford for it to increase any more if it gets any colder. Is there any advice on how I can reduce my energy costs? Any information would be very much appreciated.
I was researching wind generators, and I kept reading something about wind generators needing a big battery bank (300-400 Ah) or a charge controller with a dump or power diversion mode to maintain a draw on the generator at all times.
