Additionally I considered solar panels and geothermal nrg. > Any helpful input appreciated, > Matt If you are in Chicago, forget solar panels, those things need full daylight to do anything useful and on average, Chicago only gets about 150 of those kind of days. With the renewable energy company, either switch to them to go green or stay with the public/city provider to save money. You can't get both. All those alternate power companies hide something after you are off the initial billing plan so in 6 or 12 months, you are going to regret switching. Either move to the southwest to enjoy 300+ days a year of sunshine or to somehwere in the northwest where the power companies actually compete with each other to provide service. Chicago isn't a place for either of those options. No clue on geothermal except it seems expensive as all fuck and needs like 20-25 years to break even on the install, if even that short of time. -bruce bje@ripco.com |
