I have received notices for disconnection, but always paid it before then. Will this appear on my credit? I heard NOT, unless it went to collections and was actually turned off, please help.
yes thats right only if it takes the next step and goes to collections and gets turned off…….so your safe so far.
i live in tx and i have bad credit. Will that stop me from changing my provider for a cheaper rate, thx
I live in Texas, too. It depends on the policies of the company to which you are switching. If you meet their standards for a customer account, then they will accept you. Otherwise, no.
We just bought a home and are trying to decide on whether to get a front or top loading washing machine. What are some pros and cons of top/front loading washing machines? What are your experiences? Thanks so much.
Yeah, it is actually amazing when you look in and see the clothes washing, they are merely just "soaked" with water not sloshing around in gallons of it. And yes, as another user said…very little detergent is needed.
For instance, when you wash your new babies’ clothes, you will only need to put a couple tablespoons of Dreft (assuming that is what you use 
in for a very large load.
My favorite feature is you can barely hear them running, even during the spin cycle. So, laundry during babies’ nap time is a good option. One more thing is that the Kenmore brands have a feature called "Sensor Dry" and it knows when all the clothes are completely dry. So there is no need to scorch the crap outa them.
I think they are a really good investment, although I have not seen much of a difference on my energy/water bills. But the tax incentive was nice…ask about that when you buy them!
im going to add a heater to heat the bedrooms portion of my house (about 1000 sq. feet) 3 bedrooms. Would adding a propane wall furnace cost less to operate or would an electric fake fireplace be better?
It depends where you live. In Hawaii electric is around 47 cents a KWh and in Missouri it is around 6 cents. However when the gas/oil went up so did the propane cost and for a while electric was cheaper here. Propane gas kind of has a set price with the whole USA with in a few cents here and there, but electric is different where ever you live. Idaho has the cheapest electric rate so there electric would be cheaper where as California propane may be cheaper.
To run a stove on a 5 gallon size (25 pound tank) will last about 2 months. This is cooking two meals a day for 4 people and running the oven once a week. So it does go a long way I am sure you can ask your sales person about BTU’s and how long it will last on the size of tank you have.
If you looked at propane this way as liquid form one eye dropper size of liquid will be 64 times larger in a gas form and will cook about two pots of Top Ramin soup or two pots of macaroni and cheese. It also depends on your altitude as well.
An electric heater can be plugged into the wall where as propane will have to piped in and it must meet building codes and when the tank is empty you will have to take to have it refilled. However if you already have propane to your home it maybe worth you while. to run a pipe a few more feet over to your bed room, and have the truck come out to refill your large permanent tank. The other thing with propane is it will have to be vented to the outside and electric you do not.
They both smell like a dry vent when you first turn them on. A gas heater may last longer where as an electric may need repairs after a while.
If you have the time to research it I am sure you will find that a Geo thermal system will best the best option and then you can have central heating and cooling throughout your whole home. The new systems now days are tax deductible and they are very clean and efficient to use. Here is a web site that you can see if your state offers a program for this system. http://www.dsireusa.org/index.cfm?EE=1&RE=1 Geo Thermal is considered a renewable energy like solar or wind power.
I hope, I have gave you more information then what you asked for. I hope I did not forget anything?
