After a $600 electric bill this month (every winter I get at least 2 of these size bills), I'm seriously considering looking for either solar or wind generated electric for my house. I'm also looking at replacing all windows and doors, as those may be the biggest culprit for my outrageous bills.
I have a 2,500-ish sq ft ranch brick house (not counting the full basement). I believe which ever route I go, doors/windows or solar/wind power, I'm looking at about $20,000. I'm just trying to decide which would be the better bang for the buck. Spending this much money is extremely stressful.
Has anyone looked into this and/or purchased a renewable energy system? If so, what did you choose and why? If you haven't, but was in the market, what would you be looking into?
