Update: My electric bill was nuts so I tried a weird trick with my water heater
Our power bill hit $280 last month, which is crazy for a family of five in a regular house. I knew the old water heater was probably a big part of it, but we can't afford a new heat pump model right now. I read about turning the temp down to 120 degrees and wrapping it in an old blanket insulation kit from the hardware store, cost about $30. Did it three weeks ago and just got the new bill, it's down to $235. Not a magic fix, but that's real money back in our pocket every month. Has anyone else tried simple stuff like this that actually made a dent?

Ever think about how much power those old cable boxes suck up? I unplugged mine and just use a streaming stick now, saved a few bucks. Makes you wonder what else is quietly costing you.
