The nice thing about being on the grid is not heat; it's electricity for lights, computers, dishwasher, washing machine, that sort of thing. It takes a big lifestyle commitment to be off the electrical grid.
This is so true... i could imagine a house without a heating system, but i could never imagine a house with no electricity. I would day without my computer, my fridge... without light etc. My old washing machine needs repair... and it will last a while for me to get the right appliance parts that need to be replaced. It's all a nightmare!
If you really want to fix the problem with expensive bills, insulation is necessary. Me and my husband decided we need to invest in a proper Chicago Insulation. We will start working on it next week.

I was just catching up on my RSS feeds and read your NYSERDA audit. My building had one a while ago and we were approved for and are awaiting the loan. They have been relatively easy to deal with but not particularly expedient. We’ve held up replacing the boiler/heating system for at least 6 months. We had already received proposals for the work before we found out about NYSERDA and NYSERDA asked for them and basically rubberstamped it in addition to giving us suggestions about lighting changes, which we also planned on undertaking. I was sort of hoping for additional suggestions from them but at least they will help pay for the work we need to do.
