    Hot hot hot... :-(

    Sadly the outside temp has started going through the roof and have to shut down the majority of my systems as it's just too hard on the A/C system to cool things down, not to mention my budget also. bummer

    Invest in solar cells, for powering at least your airco

    I also look at that from time to time... and then see the cost and realize it's a long term payment, probably longer than I might stay in this house.
    Both me and my wife already said this is will not be our last house, but we just don't know when are we getting a more spacious one.

    You can take your solar cells with you when you move...over here with our prices per kilowatt/hour they pay off in about 7-9 years when using 10 panels

    I have 22 panels on my solar PV system, contributes about 10-15 percent of my daily usage (which is huge).

    Glad it is Winter here as the current temperature is 11C. Yay.
