I don't get my power from Hydro One like you do. So I didn't know what you were referring to until I looked it up. Solid proof that one's IQ can only be accurately measured by where you happen to be standing at the time.
My electric bills run around $200.00 a month. It would be cheaper if my stepson wouldn't stay up all friggin night! Plus, we have baseboard electric heat on the main floor. The coal stoker only supplements that heat by warming the basement and the floors. The coal stove operates off a thermostat placed @ half way up the basement steps, controlling the feed and the convection fans according to temperature. It actually heats the house well enough that the electrics rarely come on. Towards the end of January I ran out of coal and the wife waited a few days before calling the supplier and we had to run the electrics for a couple of weeks during that polar vortex.
Women! Can't live with' em, can't depend on' em, can't kill' em.
