[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 109639, member: 126"] Re: Incandescent Lightbulb "ban" 2014 That seems unusual... I have electric resistance heat and it is generally the most expensive. We also just got a 15% electricity rate increase to pay for the new clean coal plant (yes clean coal is an oxymoron). Modern time of day thermostats are getting cheaper (maybe $45). I am currently heating my small bedroom with a 1kW baseboard heater, and so far it can keep up with low 20's outside. I am using an in-wall heat pump to heat my main room, which in theory uses only 1/3 the electricity per BTU of heat as the old resistance heat. I don't think heat pumps work as well up in the colder latitudes. But selectively heating just the room you are in, saves money. JR [/QUOTE]
