The cost of utilities has skyrocketed. Last year we were paying $180.00 a month average just to heat our home in the winter. Summer brought $200.00 a month electric bills just to keep the house cool. Of course our landlord refused to fix the water leak under the foundation of the house which affected the hot water heater which was a gas water heater. Then there's the fact that when we rented the house he promised to put adequate air conditioning in and when summer came he handed us two very small window A/C units that had to run 24/7 just to cool the home.
The above are not ways to save on utility bills. They are the fruits of what I deem a crook and a slum lord. In the end the landlord lost his home to foreclosure, as we moved out and no one else would rent it.
There are ways to save on your utilities and if you contact your utility company, they will provide you with information on how to save money. Plus you can have them come out and examine the heating, stove, air conditioning and other around the house situations that could be costing you money.
Where there is a desire to save money, money will be saved.
