Especially not when the electric bill comes in the mail each month. Electricity is one of the few things that we use first and pay for later. We can't see electricity, therefore it is difficult to understand its value. Use the self-cleaning feature on your oven for a total of 35 cents. Wash a load of dishes in a dishwasher for about 7 cents.
Electricity really is a bargain.
You definitely couldn't do this amount of work or hire someone else to do it for the same value. While electric rates may vary among electric suppliers, we will use the central Missouri average of seven cents per kilowatt hour for the examples in this brochure. When these kilowatt hours add up, electric bills get higher. And kilowatt hour usage is adding up more and more each year. According to statistics, the average family's use of electricity is increasing at a rate of 4 to 7 percent per year.
