Illuminating Hope
I wanted to offer some hope that you can get away from Eversource and take control back. We have a large solar system which we lease. It’s a flat rate around $144 per month and we generate more than we use during peak production times.
What that means is we don’t pay Eversource from April through November with our first bill coming due in December, and it’s usually a partial bill due to left over power generation.
For perspective, we have a 2,200 sq ft wood sided house with ok windows and is cooled with central air, not mini splits. The previous owner did have a thick layer of insulation blown into the attic which has really helped.
This isn’t meant as a brag or anything silly and I understand not everyone owns a home or is able to add solar. But I wanted to share that there are options worth exploring to keep your carbon footprint and energy costs in check.
