1 more out of a million things I want to do to my house. Thanks a lot, asshole.

Eric, you can get the Gen 1's on eBay for a little less than $200 these days...

The Gen 2 units do according to the reviews on lowe's.


Chris, keep me posted. I'm considering one, but I want to see real world savings. The ability to turn it on and off remotely is what really interests me. I take off to OK once or twice a month, and come home to a hot ass house. I'd be able to kick it on when I leave the farm, so it would be cool, and not pay through the nose to run it all weekend.

I don't even want to fucking know.

249 this month for 1500 sqft. Was my fault for knocking the house from 78 to 72 where it ran all the time.

Have dogs in the house so cant turn it off - but maintaining it is important.

We have a Nest on each unit and this fucker is still high. I blame it on my in laws living with us....

Ah, looks like it does now. When we built our house last year I checked into it and it wouldn't. I went with the Honeywell pro 8000.

I'm loving my solar panels right now!
just under 4800sqft 3 A/Cs
the last 4 months were:
June 1505 60.27
May 1264 49.24
April 753 (0.12)
March 424 15.68

my rate is only 6.2 but expires on 8/3 so I'm on the hunt right now. I have to use TXU or green mountain as they are the only ones that buy my unused energy back so that part sucks!

As far as the Nest....I am actually a thermostat manufacturer rep and the nest doesn't have the greatest history in the industry with the techs. there are some who like it but so far its not been the golden egg. However they did do a good job of getting the "Apple Cult" to buy in. There are a lot of other stats that have wifi capabilities now that are a better choice. Ours wont be out until next month but theres still plenty of competitors that are good options today. I have our beta versions on my house and love being able to change it. Just my 0.02

I'll have to get some if I can today. I have a lot of trees that hide them from the street but all together have 39 250w panels. I'll get some pics when I go outside

Something I have not seen mentioned, that may help some of you understand when your primary consumption is, is to use smartmetertexas.com.. If you have a smart meter (which most should have by now) you can register it there and view your consumption at a daily / hourly level.

You'll need your ESI ID and Meter Number, both of which should be on your invoice.
