      Depends on the house. Relatively modern homes will have them, primarily in places like kitchens and bathrooms

    I don’t use AC or the heater. The fridge is plugged all the time but other than that everything is typically disconnected or unplugged.

    Tax credits are useless if you don’t make enough money to get any of the credits.
