If you don’t have a newer stove next year look into the tax incentive for a new stove in the summer. As long as it’s installed by end of the year, you can get the rebate/incentive. Newer stoves can be connected to a thermostat as well and you can get uninterrupted power supplies for them if you don’t have a generator. I grew up with pellet stoves and we have one now, so warm!!

The 24 month green plan with direct energy is what I did but in august. Cancel at anytime and extend in 24 months. You still pay your utility bill through your regular provider but you get a discounted kWh rate.

My bill went from $150 most months, to $300 in august, and down to $175 in September. My house is super energy efficient and is a passive solar house so the sun rises on one side sets on the other so that helps out a whole lot!

kWh went from $0.11 to $0.22. I locked in at $0.16 a kWh.
