How to Beat the High Cost of Energy in Your State
By

Have your monthly energy bills driven you to want to sell your home and move to a different state? Maybe a red state is cheaper than a blue state. Surely a net energy-producing state is cheaper than one that imports more than it uses.
The search for cheaper bills is actually simpler than that.
According to this study from NerdWallet, the biggest predictor of how high your state’s energy bills is how cold it gets. Yup, it all comes down to weather.
This doesn’t surprise us one bit. We never tire of telling people that nearly 2/3rd of home energy use comes from heating and hot water. We use 5x more energy to heat our homes than cool them. That’s a big reason we invented the Smart Thermal Battery™ – because it’s so good at cutting heating bills – and CO2 emissions – it makes clean electric systems affordable for everyone.
So if you live in the Upper Mountain or Upper Plain states of Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota or Iowa (5 of the top 10), you pay more for energy than just about anywhere else.
Paying the least? New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Texas, and Mississippi. Hello sunshine!
But no matter where you live, Harvest helps cut your energy bills in two ways: 1) the overall efficiency of the system, independently measured and verified; and 2) the ability to shift electric demand from peak times to the cheapest times of the day, while using stored heat for on-demand heating and hot water when the grid is expensive.
So if you live in a cold climate, check out Harvest for your home before calling the movers in search of for cheaper bills. Especially if you live in one of our priority expansion states like Colorado, Massachusetts, New York, or Vermont! We can help you save money on your bills every month, and you can enjoy staying in the home you love.
