Jay,
Couldnt find your post from last week about helpful tricks. But either way here is one I sort of stumbled on.

I house all my BP's in Freedom Breeder racks, im not sure what thermostats everyone uses on thier racks, but Freedom Breeders and many others use Ranco's (On/Off) or similar type thermos. I recently switched all of our racks over to Helix DBS 1000's w/nightdrops. I'm sure the night drops have a big part to do with it, or maybee it's that they create an algorythm to adjust the amount of power delivered instead of constantly turning on and off, but my electricity costs have droped by a little over $50 (more than 25%) on a monthly basis. Give it a few months and they will have paid for themselves, and continue to save me money.

Just Some food for thought guys!

-Grant
