Agreed.. heating and cooling are the big power suckers. The oven is by far the biggest juice sucker followed by the fridge and freezer. I don't turn the air con on even though we have it. Makes me laugh when I see all the ads telling you to turn to LED lighting to save energy when you haven't been able to buy a standard incandescent for quite a few years now.. CCFL @20W will produce more light than a 20W LED. Electricity prices in QLD are about to go up a further 13%.. this is on top of the 21% of last year and the rise the year before that etc. For my shop, the cost of the line supply is now what my whole bill used to be when I moved into it some 8 years ago... the whole charade is spiralling out of control and im getting really pissed off with it!
