Never before in the history of Consumers Energy has a gas bill been so eagerly anticipated -- or so well received.
Today, I tore into the mail to find out the results of my window insulation experiment. In January, I spent $13 installing shrinkwrap insulating kits on four windows in an effort to cut my $184.88 gas bill.
Hot damn, I saved $50! This month's bill is $136.66. When you subtract the cost of the window insulating kits, I saved a grand total of $35.22 -- and that's just in one month. Imagine if I had actually done this in November! Or insulated more windows!
I did some calculations. February's billing cycle was warmer on average than January's billing cycle, by 3.8 degrees per day, so some savings could be expected. However, I also looked at my January 2009 heating bill ($187.70), compared to my February 2009 bill ($171.86) -- a difference of about $16. So to save $50 in one billing cycle is significant.
Our home is more comfortable as well. Instead of shivering under a blanket, I'm wearing a tank top as I type this.
The bottom line is, yes, those plastic shrinkwrap kits are worth the time and money it takes to install them. I'm going to do this every year from now on -- and I'll do it early in the season so I can enjoy a warm home all winter long.
