Unless you've been hit in the head with a hockey puck, in today's economy it's crazy to waste money when you could be saving. Switch to Public Power today!

I got something similar in the mail saying i can save 15%.

My electric bill was $968 last month^<<^

Generally it runs me $550-$650.

We had a bad storm here back in 2008 so Duke(energy company) is trying to pass the buck to the consumers.

But this rise isn't due to that, just heard on the radio they are saying some bills have a mistake and they will be in contact with us.

What can you do in a situation like this? nothing really, you dont pay, you dont have electric. aggravating:smoking:
 

And if the Road Warrior says it, it must be true..

I dont understand...did they just deregulate electricity in CT recently

we have had in Texas for a few years....seems places are higher than others and its true you can save by shopping

Holy Shit, $968 for electric ! That has to be electric heat, but still wicked !

How do you afford it ?

So is this thing legit, or not ?

Seems weird to me, CL&P has to service the lines if a truck hits a pole or something, or a transformer burns out.

What do these other guys do ?

Bigbet, Do you have a KVAR unit installed? It can really save you some money.

I sell a lot of these in my line of business; here is a description of the unit;

PowerMax 1200
Is an electromagnetic control system that reduces the amount of non-productive current in your existing electrical system. It helps to significantly reduce electrical costs and pollution from energy generated by the utility companies.
The PowerMax 1200 will reduce demand at the meter by reducing lost and wasted power, plus it will reduce maintenance costs and increase equipment life by reducing heat around the motor and wiring caused by reactive current.



How our PowerMax 1200, manufactured by KVAR Energy Savings Inc., works:
  • <LI type=circle>The PowerMax 1200 is an apparatus and methodology for determining, to an exact science, the amount of capacitance that is needed to optimize inductive motors to unity for maximum savings. <LI type=circle>The PowerMax 1200 fine tunes the electrical system from the inductive equipment back through the utility company’s KVA electric meter, kilowatt hour meter (kWh) or demand meter. This fine tuning slows down the operation and therefore reduces electrical consumption.
    <LI type=circle>The PowerMax 1200 stores the reactive power to create the electromagnetic field (EMF) around the inductive windings of a motor.
    <LI type=circle>As motors operate, reactive power is “pulled” and “pushed” to and from the PowerMax 1200 by the motor at 60 cycles/second.
    <LI type=circle>The PowerMax 1200 stores and releases what the motors need to function more efficiently.
    <LI type=circle>This unique approach serves to reduce the heat generated on the lines and therefore also reduces the strain placed on all the electrical components.
    <LI type=circle>Electricity that would normally be pushed back through the power distribution lines, is reclaimed and recycled by the PowerMax 1200.
  • The PowerMax 1200 reclaims, stores, recycles and supplies power to all inductive loads.
Save up to 25% on your electrical bill
Installation is quick and the savings immediate
The PowerMax 1200 panel mounted system is attached to the top breaker on a 100, 200 or 400 amp single or three phase service panel. By installing the PowerMax 1200 in this location, you are optimizing both sides of the busbar in your panel and insuring whole facility surge protection. The PowerMax 1200 panel system can be installed outdoors or indoors, at the main breaker panel or a sub-panel.
For larger three phase motors, the preferred location of the PowerMax 1200 is at the motors’ disconnect, which are installed after trained electricians have performed an individual sizing of the respective motors. This creates the largest savings and quickest ROI.
Qualified electricians should perform all work.
Businesses can now dramatically reduce the cost of determining how much capacitance is required to optimize each inductive load at their facility. The patented apparatus and methodology, achieves this by eliminating the typical electrical engineering, design, and manufacturing costs. This precision technology fine tunes each motor to unity for immediate savings with a quick ROI. Installation is fast, simple and sized to the specific unit.

Reducing electrical waste and energy costs!
The Problem
Up to 25% of the billable electricity consumed in homes and businesses is non-productive and unusable.

Most AC motors operate at 80% efficiency under a full load...the efficiency drops dramatically at lower loads.
This non-productive energy wastes money and also shortens the life of inductive equipment such as motors, HVAC equipment, pumps and major appliances.

“Over $16 billion dollars of electricity is unusable energy, but billable in the U.S.”
- U.S. Dept of Energy

“The adequacy of North America’s electricity system will decline unless changes are made soon...demand for electricity is expected to increase over the next ten years by 19 percent in the U.S., but confirmed power capacity will increase by only 6 percent.”
- North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC)
The Solution
The PowerMax 1200 fine tunes electrical systems to reduce non-productive and wasted electricity, giving you cost-effective energy!

Is what I'm being offered legit, I don't believe it is the above device.

I do know I have a lot of ghost power leaks....like the dishwasher having lights on 24/7.

I was thinking the same thing. My power bill is $75.00 a month for every month of the yr.

some sort of budgeting program ?

Bills vary with usage, don't you run a lot of AC in the summer in B-ham ?

I live in a split level house and I have a lot of tree's around my house, so in the summer time I leave my thermostat on 70 and the A/C hardly ever runs.

But the natural gas in the winter time makes up for it, of about $250 a month for 3-4 months.

But no budget on the power just the normal everyday shit I run in the house.
