How much was your last gas bill?

I just got mine turned back on waited as long as i could the fireplace doese keep up very well when its this cold and i've been riding all day so i'm not here feed the fire (god i need an insert) so last months was 0$ and well to day to get the meter put back in and edeposit witch they raised was 557.00
:o| :o| :o| This not going to be a good year
 
you guys should have LP instead of the metered stuff. 800 bucks and it is about time to fill again, this time it will be 1500. Maxdlx
 
Last month here in Mn mine was $ 95 with my woodburning stove runing half day....with some luck this month will be lower I tried to keep ot going all day long...but it gets pretty warm sometimes at 85....the wife pretty happy tough.......
 
From $131 to $203. This next month could be even more. We refuse to be uncomfortable although putting on a sweat shirt wouldn't hurt either.

What we need to include is the size of the house. Our house is 1300 ft2. I have a friend with a 4800 ft2 house and he anticipates well over $600. Just helps to put things into prospective.

My house is 2700 sqft with 1 furnace @ 67-69 degrees, and my garage is 2640 sqft with a boiler for floor heat kept @ 60 degrees. This is natural gas also.
 
2 100 lb lp tanks for the garage $130 - should last for a few months. the house is on city steam, still around $175 for heat, big house though
 
Get rid of the gas and go to an electric off-peak system from Steffes. It is an electric thermal storage unit that charges during off-peak hours. It costs us about $600-650 per year to heat and cool our home (2x6 construction) in central Wisconsin which is $50-75 per month even at the coldest in the winter or warmest in the summer. House is 3,800 sqft with basement. We also have an off-peak electric Marathon water heater that charges off-peak also. The beauty of this system is that we are being charged off-peak rates ($0.032/KWhr or half the rate) for the entire house during off-peak which includes all day Saturday and Sunday when we use more power. Take a look at the systems and I think you will like what you see

Mills - That's a very interesting conecpt. What is the up front cost for a typical size furnace? What are the drawbacks, if any?

Stupid gas conpany here says they are not making enough profit since people have reduced the temps in their houses so they have to raise prices even higher. :die:
 
I'm through about 300$ in propane since mid october (200gallons) with a 3100sq^ft house. Adding off-peak electric grid to my furnace next year. (ran out of time/money this year building my house)
