Heating Bill



By the time Cyb Knight moved in this space in 2006, we found our heating unit was broke.  Strangely, it was OK temp without it.

Then, suddenly we've got a gas bill over $200 a month from Nicor.  I cancelled entire gas service and we have lived just fine so far.  And, we have saved over $3,000 by now.

Here is how to eliminate Heating Bills ($0) in your store.
  1. Choosing a store space between two neighbors.  If either of your left or right wall doesn't have a neighbor, it would be cold.  Besides, heat from your neighbor can help you.
  2. Having ceiling panels to prevent cold.  This is actually pretty tall space (16 feet). These white ceiling panels cut your space to heat in half (bottom 10 feet).
  3. Having lots of lights.  Cyb Knight has 80 tube lights in 900 sf.  They produce huge amount of heats.
  4. Wearing extra clothes.
  5. Move around.    
  6. Having a small portable heater.

  1. 참 좋은 아이디어입니다. 일하는 사람들만 (많이 활동하면서) 견딘다면 손님들은 잠깐 왔다가기에 별로 추운 걸 못느끼겠죠?

  2. 뭐 장사를 하시니, 잘 아시겟지만....

    기본적으로 손님들은 외투를 입고 오시고, 가게 안을 춥다고 느끼시는 분들은 없을겁니다...

    1년에, 600불 절약이 처음에는 별거 아니지만, 6년째 장사하는 입장에선 몇달치 월세 금액이 되는군요..
