Thanks guys, here in ontario electricity rates are unreal. Our monthly bill is already over $700 for a 2 bedroom bungalow. geo heat, lights all led, new appliances. Our prices just suck.
My pond has an island in the middle of it. We have an electric aerator we put in once the ice is gone on the front half of the pond closest to the house. We only run it a couple hours in the evening/early morning when rates are cheapest as it pushes our bill up over $800 a month. We were told getting some aeration on the backside of the island is ideal, which is why we were looking into the windmill. We get pretty steady wind at the back and can get the entire ows system delivered from home depot for $2500. Our pond isn't deep. 15' at the deepest we've found. So any suggestions you have are welcome.
thanks, Jenna

When I ordered my American Eagle I got free shipping. Not sure if you could get that deal or not. I cannot help but to say again that, IMO, the Eagle is a much better unit that under the same conditions will produce more air than the other unit.
Also, if you are dead set on a windmill, I would get the absolute tallest tower you can afford. They recommend nothing taller than the tower within 200 feet.

Jenna, what is the rate per kilowatt hour? I thought mine was high at $0.19/kWH Our rates are time of use billing so they go up and down throughout the day but right now are: 8.7 (¢/kWh) 07:00 PM-07:00 AM 13.2 (¢/kWh) 11:00 AM-05:00 PM 18 (¢/kWh) 07:00 AM-11:00 AM and 05:00 PM-07:00 PM 19cents is crazy! But our biggest issue is our "fees." My March bill just came in: $320 in actual usage, $584 total bill, so $264 in delivery fees and taxes.

Our utility advertises $0.09/KWH but it jumps to $0.18/KWH with all the fees tacked on.
881 Kwh, $176.25 was the bill.
Oops, make that $0.20/Kwh now since the price increase.........
