Another bill. These things are getting annoying. if we had anywhere near reasonable incentives I'd have solar on the roof already...
Numbers are
HDD (18.5C) 1038.9
CDD (18.5C) 0
Days Covered 62
KW.h used 1834
cost/kwh 0.0899
kwh/day 29.58
kwh/hdd 1.765
the TED at the end of the period told me kwh used should have been 1835.5 so I'm completely satisfied with it.
numbers are higher then I wanted. It was only a 4.4% decrease from last years numbers however the electric company says I used 12% less due to how much colder it was this year compared to last. My math suggests that number should be 8% but who knows how they calculate heating degree days.
This level of usage put me well into the second tier which is way higher then first tier.
on the 10% challenge I've used 16% less for a total of 431 kWh saved out of my 967 kwh goal. The major issue I'm starting to run low on firewood. Either I get more or I'll be out my mid feb and it's likely to be heating season until mid march. I'll need to store 3 cords next winter.
