i alreadty did lol but i cant find the rates for me also night time rates and such stuff on my parents bill it says .1997 then under it is .1954 u know what I mean my system now on the calculator on my friends site says my tank is 170 a month and with my upgraddes it will be 85 a month thats at .1997 but i also plan on having the tank run at night only which is another reason why im trying to find out when night actually starts for the electric company.

you can hook a meter up to the outlet your tank plugs into- I've seen them sold on some aquaria sites. they can measure the exact amount of wattage that your tank is using.

im trying to find out when night actually starts for the electric company.

10pm-10am are the off-peak rates (and all day sat & sun & holidays).

 

[nyfireman3097]

thanx for the info. Hey am I reading the bill correctly that its .20 cents kilowatt ?

I have been investigating third party electricity suppliers. If you choose someone other than Con-Ed the price drops about 10-15%, but the "delivery" charges stay the same.

I will post my findings...

[nyfireman3097]

yes please do so I never thought of that I never knew that there were other electric companies out there lol

 

[Alfredo De La Fe]

Yeah, with deregulation there is now a lot of competition. Savings range from 5% to 15%, which for us can be a healthy amount of money!

I recommend you guys go to the following website:

Enter your information and request rate comparisons. If you want to avoid being bombarded by telephone calls only give your email address.
