So, nothing makes me happier than when products that I sell stand up to their hype. Blue Line Innovation’s Power Cost Monitor not only sounds cool, but it actually saves you money. For those who are unfamiliar with this product, please check out the video found on our homepage. Now for the scoop:

I installed my PowerCost Monitor on May 27th. I monitored our power usage for the entire month of June, then reset it on June 25th to see how we would compare month over month. I am ecstatic to report that I saved $43 in only the second month of monitoring our usage - and it’s July in Texas!!! That is a pretty huge accomplishment.

Some of the things that my family has done to decrease our bill: we turn up our AC during the day. I work from home, so it is still a reasonable temp, but higher than what we have it on at night. We are taking full advantage of ceiling fans in every room - in fact, we are adding another to our TV room later this month. We realized that our ancient dishwasher was just mauling our energy bill, so we upgraded to an energy star dishwasher (upfront costs apply, but month to month we will be saving a ton). We use Nellie’s Dryer Balls religiously in our dryer - these literally cut drying time in half. And finally, we close doors when we are not in rooms. This helps maintain temperatures in bedrooms and reduces the work our AC has to do. 

I will let you know how this month goes, but we are already on track to save even more!
