15.01.10

The monthly bill of a residential bloke using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity would increase $3.91 in phase 1, $3.77 in period 2 and $4.01 in phase 3.

Marsh said the company’s base rate filing – its first since June 2007 – is mainly driven by the costs associated with complying with governmental regulations – particularly those agnate to protecting the environment.

“We are committed to conducting business in an environmentally sensitiveBymanner,” said Marsh. “However, ensuring compliance with ever-increasing governmental regulations comes with a value tag, and it’s getting steeper all the time.

electric dryer...?

May 21, 2008 by jennyhp | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I moved into an older apartments which has what I thoughtfulness was a 220v line for the dryer. The outlet has 2 prong slots like this / but my dryer plug has 2 like this / and one that is curved like a 90% approach....this worked at my old apartment as an electric dryer....but is not seeming to fit in my new apartment... Is there a converter or something? There is no gas line either.
I meant 90 situation...

You can go to most any devices store (Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) and buy the correct cord for your outlet. Either write down the number on the way out or make a sketch and get some help in the electrical department. It should be easy to find. You should not modify the plug to fit the outlet as it might not steer a course for good connection anymore. To replace the cord, just take the cover off the back off the dryer where the cord connects, then make restitution for one wire at a time, colors should remain the same.

Jim W - I believe she really does have a 220V outlet, the number two description does call out three connections.

go to your provide er and request a plug wire with the inlet side matches your new place, remove old wire and install new this is lenient you have two hot lines and one ground that completes a 220 line, you can also cheat it by cutting off the 90% Angle of the angled prong

Call a experienced professional electrician. If you have a receptacle with only the 2 blades, it has no ground which must be present to make your dryer work.

You can go to most any metal goods store (Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) and buy the correct cord for your outlet. Either write down the number on the retailer or make a sketch and get some help in the electrical department. It should be easy to find. You should not modify the plug to fit the outlet as it might not create good connection anymore. To replace the cord, just take the cover off the back off the dryer where the cord connects, then supplant one wire at a time, colors should remain the same.

Jim W - I believe she really does have a 220V outlet, the alternate description does call out three connections.

Gas dryer vs electric dryer which is better?

Jan 23, 2008 by sparkler | Posted in Cleaning & Laundry

i am planning to buy this whirl gas laundry dryer and was wondering if its more economical than electric dryer. Please adivse cos am buying it from an individual and they say they want a bigger one. I have never owned either so I dont advised of which is better. I live in the midwest area.

Depending on where you endure will dictate which is more expensive to operate. The gas dryers of today use a hot surface ignitor to light the gas compared to the old aviatrix light days so safety in that regard is not an issue. If you don't have a gas line hook up for the dryer, than you have an initial expenditure of running a gas line. Contrary to what another contributor has said, repairing a gas dryer is not any more expensive than repairing an electric dryer. They use all the same components with the special case of the gas valve versus the electric element. With a gas dryer you have to use a metal vent pipe and it must be vented to the outside (carbon monoxide) Oh, and the Swirl is a decent machine overall.

What should I do about a electric dryer that is on my breaker box but is used by all the tenants in the bldg?

Sep 19, 2007 by ezman30 | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

I exist in an apartment with three units. We have a shared washer and dryer in the basement. We all split the water bill but pay our own electric bills. I noticed that the electric dryer is on my electric. Do I MO = 'modus operandi' the landlord regarding this or just suck it up?

first depending what splendour you are in the hook up is most likely illegal, call your local electric company and inquire into the legality

then what i would do is most likely the dryer is on its own breaker in the box, i would no more than throw the breaker and cut it off until it is resolved
