When my electricity bill came, the company estimated that I used 300kWh more than I actually used & as of this writing I still haven't reached what they guessed the meter to be. Looks like switching to LED and changing out the 1980s fridge to an Energy Star model is making a huge difference! We'll see how this translates next month.
I've also finally got my basement windows installed. It's not 100% complete yet as they need to come back to put in the window wells & clean up. At least I'm that much closer to getting 2 more rentable bedrooms down there
