  16. Member Testimonials: We try to diagnose spikes quickly, like one about a week ago that was huge.Thanks for the quick response. Just to let you know, I have the auto meter reading from the coop. Recently, it proved to be worth while when I notice an unusual spike in daily use. It turned out to be a problem with the heat pump contacts sticking. FYI, we are in Troy, NY until 1 October. We appreciate receiving the daily cost of electricity from your office. WHAT A GREAT SERVICE!  THANK YOU.  I try to watch my consumption of energy and now I will watch when I plan washing Thank you for the daily power usage data. It is a big help in understanding my power consumption and in particular the condition of my heating system. Is it possible to sign up for the same information for our community association account? Today is my first day of receiving actual data from the daily usage system and I wanted to let you know that I *really* like it. Keep up the good work! Can you send me a copy of my monthly usage in graph form like you do for my parents?  Thank you! I really appreciate the added information about estimated cost and the daily temps. on the daily power usage summary

  17. More Testimonials This is the best comprehensive info you could have provided, really gives one a chance to compare usage costs day to day.  Thank you!!! Wow, Mike...this is neat...!!!!!  Usage still too HIGH (ha ha)but great info !! Data provided is really improving Mike!! Glad you are able to keep this flowing. I check it each day while I'm away. I especially like the cost and weather data you've included.. Getting the reading everyday has helped up to cut back on electricity use. Just this past weekend we installed a timer on the hot water heater to further reduce the usage. Thank you I think I have found the problem. I like this monthly summary a lot. Thanks so much! I’m trying hard to monitor our energy usage to see what we have been doing wrong!! I appreciate your help so very much! I like the weather data idea for its obvious potential correlation to power use. GREAT SERVICE.  HOW ABOUT PUTTING THE  KWH  IN SUBJECT LINE ?
