Ask Dave: What to do about crazy energy bills?

Dear Dave,

I just got my electric bill.  I was away for the holidays and it was still $300.00!!!  What can I do?

Dear Customer,

I have a hunch this is only the beginning.  $3.10 gasoline tells the story of the rising cost of energy.  One solution is to add a wood stove to your family or living room.  There are beautiful, very efficient wood stoves that not only give a lot of heat but have glass doors and provide wonderful ambiance while burning.  Many still have tax credits available on them.

If you can't cut wood (I can't since I live in town) you can buy it and have it delivered.  It costs some but far less than electricity.

We have a number of wood stoves in our showrooms in Athens and Lancaster and provide certified installation that your home insurance company will like.  I personally don't think there is anything better on a winter night than our family gathered around a wood fire in our family room.  And if I'm saving a bunch on my electric bill, all the better!

David
