my comfort dilemma
I overheard two people talking in the elevator yesterday. They were discussing the high electric bills here in the apartments and how they cope. I had heard, before I moved in, that the electric bills can be pretty high in these total electric apartments. It was one of the negatives on my list of pros and cons but I decided to move here anyway. One of the two people in the elevator mentioned putting insulating strips around her windows, another said she had unplugged all of her heaters. I think that last sounds a little extreme. My apartment has three heating units, one in each bedroom and one in the living room, plus a space heater in each bathroom. Earlier this month I had shades installed on all my windows and added curtains in the bedrooms and these seem to be doing a good job of holding in the warmth on these chilly evenings. I haven't had to run my bedroom heaters much at all. Now I know colder days are coming and my bill will go up. I just paid the October bill - $32.00. My problem is I really like the view, night and day, from the big wall of windows in my living room. Do I close the shades or do I pay the big bucks? Time will tell.
