Electric Bills Too High!

Jackery and Bluetti power stations

Electric bills are too high.
People don’t use more but they pay more!
You spend time everyday shutting everything off.
Still the electric bill goes up, use less pay more!
There is another way, you can save money.

Power suckers.
You will need to unplug everything in your home to make this work.
If you change the way you use power your electric bills will go down.
Things are running in the background and you’re not aware of it.
Every power supply that’s plug into a wall socket is using power.
Everything in your home that uses a remote control is also using power.
A big power user is the water heater. It’s always running your power bill up!

We need to rethink our electric power usage.
Getting radical with the power suckers will help with consumption.

Power Stations.
Now here is a consideration for you to cut those power bills.
Start using a power station all the time, like campers do.
If you know your only power is what the power station has
you will be careful about how much you use.
Purchase at least a 1000-watt station, 2000-watts if you can afford it.
Even a 500-watt station will get you started.

Only thing that are running is what’s plugged into
your power station. You can look at the power station and see how much
power you have and how much you’re using. Some power station will also
calculate how long you can power thing.

TV’s and laptop computers use around 50-watts per hour.
If you have a 1000-watt system you can power up for 20 hours.
This system will teach you real fast how to use less power.

Charging a Power Station.
I use 100-watt solar panels to charge my batteries. If you have space
you could also use solar panels. Another possibility is charging your
power station at night when price per kilowatt drops.
Charge at a low cost for kilowatt at night then when they charge more
use the power station.
