Incredible Power Usage

[ Jerry — MacSolutions]

Yes… AMEREN gave us $25, four LED bulbs and various other things, like a device to check if our air filter was dirty as well.

We bought a stand up Freezer around 2005 and it appears to be much more efficient to the ‘fridge from ten years earlier.

I didn’t realize that the Kill-A-Watt device was so inexpensive.  I’m wondering if we really need one now?
