High Electric Bill? I’m Testing a New Service Idea
My electric company recently sent me a home energy report showing about $55 of my monthly electric use coming from a pool.
There’s only one problem — I haven’t had a pool in about five years.
That got me thinking.
I’m considering offering a Home Energy Usage Study through Grease & Threads Mechanical and HVAC.
Instead of estimating where your electricity is going, we would temporarily monitor your home’s electrical usage by individual circuit.
That means we could see what your air conditioner, mini-split, electric water heater, well pump, freezer and other major loads are actually using in real time.
Then we can identify the biggest energy users and come up with a practical plan to reduce unnecessary usage where possible.
I’m thinking a basic study would be around $199, including setup, monitoring, removal, reviewing the data and explaining what we found.
If a $199 study finds something costing you an unnecessary $30, $40 or $50 every month, the savings could outweigh the cost pretty quickly.
Before I add this as an official service, I want to know what you think.
Would you pay around $199 to find out exactly where your electricity is going?
Comment YES, MAYBE, or NO below. I’m genuinely interested in whether people around here would use something like this.
