    We have an LG SmartThinQ TurboWash washer and dryer combo. Cold wash option and other energy efficient washer and dryer cycles saves us money every time we use them. Also, I love the cute jingle the appliances make whenever they're done washing/drying :)

    Saving money is awesome! It gives me more options for other smart spending choices and of course more energy efficient choices!

    Installed Solar panels at our house last month with the help of HorizonPWR and Big Dog Solar. Proud to be producing my own power and venturing into the world of clean/renewable energy.

      I think it's going great for us so far. We've been tracking our solar power production through this "SolarEdge" app and our daily solar production this month is higher than our consumption. I'm really curious to see how this changes throughout the winter months!

      Athena, my husband and I have considered this option. I would love to hear how it works out over the next few months and the cost benefit if you see one.
