Looking for ways to lower my electric bill

[Think. Again.]

42. Minisplits ar good now..

I remember when minisplits, also called heat pumps, didn't provide much help north of South Carolina but they have improved drastically and now can be used as primary heat systems even in the north.

They pump the heat the two ways, so no more need for air conditioning chemicals.

And then there's this which might apply depending on ...things:

"New federal income tax credits are available through 2032 providing up to $3,200 annually to lower the cost of energy efficient home upgrades by up to 30 percent. Improvements such as installing heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, insulation, doors and windows, as well as electrical panel upgrades, home energy audits and more, are covered by the tax credits and can help families save money on their monthly energy bills for years to come."

On a side note, I've started placing cheap solar landscape LED lights near windows in a lot of spots inside the house. Gives me basic lighting without paying for wattage.
