Well, after talking to a few folks around the area, it seems like electric bills have taken a HUGE spike higher recently.  One obvious reason would be the extremely cold temperatures we had around here in January.  I know in our house, the heat stayed on constantly just to keep it semi-warm.  Since we primarily use natural gas, however, it didn’t have an effect on our electric bill as much.

Also, I’ve noticed that several of the complaints about higher electric bills have been coming from the folks who are on Licking Valley RECC.  I have talked to a few …

Well, as you may or may not know, my wife and I have been in the process of buying a house for most of this Summer, so I haven’t had a lot of extra time or mental focus for a while.  We finally were able to close around the end of August and it has been pretty much non-stop work since then.  We got our internet hooked up just last week, but I only got my computer unboxed and hooked up this past weekend…it has been a long process, to say the least!
