The electric bill has skyrocketed, and we're not quite sure why. It seems usage has gone up about 50% year/year. I've started replacing incandescents with CFLs where ever possible. But some lamps I haven't been able to find a solution.What bulbs are compatible with (Motion Detectors + Auto Dimmers) security lamps?I've cleaned and shortened the dryer outlet hose. What else could I do for that?Computers are set to power off after inactivity, anything else for them?How effective is insulating my hot water heater?We rarely run the AC, (no heat, it's Florida) and the attic has ridge vents.What am I missing? Of course given the times, I need cost effective solutions.

When an alarm is in a triggered state, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery should not reset it to a non-triggered state. It's in the design. So unhooking the battery in various different permutations will not help. Your only solution is to try to work on the keyfob. If that doesn't work, some BMW factory alarms will self-reset when the correct key with a working EWS is inserted into the ignition and turned to the ON position. Other than that, you might want to get AAA to tow your car to the dealer. It may cost only an hour or less labor to diagnose the problem or disable/remove the alarm. A new factory alarm unit costs in the region of $200. However, in 1995, I don't know how intergrated the alarm systems were on BMWs. It may be just as simple as an aftermarket alarm system; in which case, you can just install a cheaper aftermarket unit.
