Isnt The Average Family Meant To Save $500 pa In Electricity Now The Carbon Tax Is Gone?

[bushies.girl]

Not according to the letter I received from my electricity supplier today, more like $145 saving

We have a rc air cond in the lounge room and another one in the sunroom, great for the hot summer months but I just dont think it heats the house as well as solid fuel heating.

We might put one in there next summer if the tenant complains about the old one lol

We use collected firewood in winter which reduces electrical costs... lpg gas stove.... but I run the air con all through the warmer

months that really jacks up the usage...(reverse cycle)..... thank goodness for the fireplace.... makes winter one of the cheaper bills.

If our bills will go down by about 7%, you would have to have $8000 per year bills to save $550.  It was just the usual Abbott bleep, and some people believed it 😞

Abbott lied? OMG! I am shocked.

So Abbott's "logic" is, spend heaps on electricity and get five hundred odd bucks back, yep makes sense to me ..... NOT

We run the a/c's in summer but not all day and not every day, wood heater goes 24/7 in winter

I think I live further north than you..... I would much prefer to throw a long on the fire!..... 

[bushies.girl]

Wood cost us over $500 the year, not cheap and NO rebate lol

i just came across this story that sort of explains what I was talking about further back in this thread about electricity in Vic, so I thought I'd post it here.

How did we get into such a mess??
