Our bill is $50 a month more than it was last year (pre-hottub) at this time. It was also kind of cold last month, so that might have added to it.

We have baseboard heat. Next house will have forced air!!!! I got a programable thermostat for our baseboard heat and now we never have to touch our thermostat except to shut it off during the summer. I am sure that has saved us some money.

We are also planning to replace all of the windows next year. We will proabably not save enough from that to pay for the windows, it will still add value to our house as it will make it look newer. Our house is a 1973 Ranch style home.
