Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.
Do your power bills come in way higher than your friends and family? Do you know why, or does the amount always take you by surprise? Maybe, like the family who created an effective solar panel heater out of drink cans, or the blogger who enjoys free power generated by a converted washing machine, you've found a creative way to minimise your bills. If so, how do you do it?
Whether your bills are high and you're looking for ways to reduce them, or you have some secrets to low power bills that you're willing to share, we'd love to hear from you. Email homed@stuff.co.nz and one of our reporters will be in touch.
The countdown is on till we're racing again!

Our new home won't fit our two massive couches either so they're up for grabs! Not only is it a two year old house with eight years Master Builders left that can be transferred, it's located on a large 773m2 north facing section. We will miss our awesome neighbours in this great street but a new job opportunity means more travel, so in order to retain quality family time we need to move back to the Shore.
