Years ago the electric company sold the public Gold Medallion Home service or, in other words, total electric homes. I bought mine back in 1969. Right after that the utility company helped me sponsor a party to help promote it much like the kind dealers have for candles, lingerie, and Tupperware. Forty years later my monthly bills are astronomical. Why don’t I convert? Well, my house has no ducting so putting in a furnace and vents would be very costly. Looking on the bright side, I can find one good thing about my electric radiator heating system, I do not have any furnace filters to change.

I about had a stroke after seeing our A/C bill last summer. This year we put in ceiling fans and that helped keep the cost down.

Birdie,
Our electric bill in the winter can hit $1,000 so I doubt that.

Tori,
I have one in almost every room. The air conditioner had to be minimized because of $$$$$–5* restaurants are less .

We had our windows replaced this past spring with energy efficient ones and our savings monthly are amazing! We were delighted!

Nancy,
Someday we will have the money to replace the electric heating.
