The fridge results are mixed. The new fridge returned the electricity level down below last years usage but not enough to offset higher electricity costs.
But, today I have started moving more lighting to LED based. The CFLs have been great on the energy side but, not on the life expectency side. So, today I picked up some of them my goal over the next month or so replace most of the lights in the house with them. They are more expensive but, there is almost no heat so it should help on the electric bill on that side too. The quality of the light has improved my wife did not mind the switch now.
The issue is that my efforts have plateaued. If the AC turns on I cross 200% plus of the baseline and when the AC is not on I can keep it below the 200% (or within a few KWHs). I still want to get it below 130% of baseline all year round.
Its a goal.
I need to find more ideas. After it comes down far enough then solar will be cheaper.
