We have been our new house for about 6 months now.
I've got my security and irrigation going through my OP II right now.
It's a little messy but this was my first install and I am always messing around with it.
The cables on the right are speaker wires to each room and two CAT5 to each room. One day when I win the lotto I would like to install the Hi-Fi 2.
Our electric bill was slightly over $350 last month so I told the old lady I would try and figure out ways to use the system to save on the electric bill.
What I am trying to figure out is a priority list, or biggest bang for the buck to save on energy.
All the lights in the house and outside are LED's and we're pretty good about turning off lights.
We have a normal Hot water heater, not sure on the tank size.
I ran CAT5 to each thermostat location but am using what ever thermostats the builder installed.
I've read reports about the hot water heater being the biggest energy hog in a home. Then I've read where adjusting the temp of the home when no one is home is a huge energy saver as well. There are two thermostats in the house and the ones for the OP don't look cheap.
Any advice on where to start?
Thanks,
Mike
