That's pretty warm, might want to lower your thermostat a few degrees.

Might want to check out how the Brits are doing with this. Or basically anywhere in EU. Even the west coast drought is increasing costs for hydroelectric powered areas here.

Ah, a link to a Trump campaign press release, the most unbiased of all sources.

It was about 1k and the incentive level at the time was 75% covered by program so I only paid 25% of the total cost. Incentives have changed. I think right now only 50% of total cost is covered. If you want to be prepared by next winter, you should call for an assessment asap. The energy assessment is no cost.

The article is behind a pay wall, but the link says 2020. Not sure how that would be relevant. Regardless, some Rhode Islanders are going to face eviction when they've used up their money to stay warm, and/or they're shivering in their homes to afford food, and the state is shrugging its shoulders. It's not an "everything sucks here" problem. It's a horrific situation for many people.

Maintaining 68 all day uses much more energy than heating the walls and furniture. Proof is the drastic cuts in my energy bills by using this method haha

Can I ask how much your out of pocket cost was? I have been wanting to go through that process as well, I don't have a huge budget but want to be prepared.

My house goes from 62 to 68 in less than 10 minutes.

I also noticed that delivery is twice as much of consumed gas. I don't get it. What's the point of keeping thermostats low if they still pound you for getting you the goods?

1/4 tank of heating oil is $485 this year. Looks like I'm standing in sunny windows.

TSK in Newport. They started serving their entrees a la carte and there is also a note on the menu that they're charging a 3% service fee on every check which goes directly to the kitchen staff.
