Yes, how sad is it? Just swapped out all the appliances in the kitchen with flimsy new ones ( the wife does like them ). It's been 2 months and my old ones must have been power hogs, yes the old refrigerator was colder, the dishwasher was sturdier and the stove weighed 50 pounds more. Now here is my query, after 2 months it looks like a $60 a month savings in juice. I think most of that is coming from the stove. How should I optimize the "available" electricity? Yes, fix the kitchen so I can crunch more. Let's hear the ideas before my spouse figures it out.
