[Tell It Right]

I’m looking at adding insulation in my attic. Where I live, winters usually aren’t harsh. But last Christmas’ highs in the teens in north/central Alabama was a huge cost in my power bill (all-electric home).

“north/central Alabama was a huge cost in my power bill”

I think we ain’t seen nothing yet. I believe Alabama Power has increased rates by 20 to 25% and this summer has been HOT. My summer bill has been significantly higher than usual, even after making a/c repairman recommended house modifications (installed ridge vent and soffit vents). This is my estimate for this month:

This Month’s Bill Estimate
$166 - $225

This is last year’s bill for August:

Billed Amount
$106.37

That’s pretty crazy.

Insulation is always a good upgrade. Up here in NH it's going to be a cold winter this year I can tell.
Acorns have been dropping since mid July and the squirrels and chipmunks have been real busy.
Our wood stove starts up in Oct. And doesn't shut off till late April or early May.
