Gas Bill

It's usually wise to keep the heater set at 70 degrees during the winter and 75 during the summer. If it's very cold, then 65 degrees would be good enough.
 
My mom and I just gonna leave gas heater off everyday and just use our small electric heater.

And also fill the pot with water and boil it all day on low heat because steam warm up whole house.
 
Monthly Utilities used (water, sewage & electricity) of 2005 was reduced from 110 EUR ($134.57) to 103 EUR ($125.94) for start on January 2006 to end of December after received 95.00 EUR ($116.16). :)

From January 2006 I will pay 26.00 EUR ($31.41) for water, 17.00 EUR ($20.54) for sewage and 60.00 EUR ($73.42)for electricity total to 103.00 EUR ($125.94) every month.

I don't have Gas but Heating oil. We ordered 3,000 litres oil to fill our tanks at oil room in the basement for heater/hot water last October 2005. It cost us EUR 2,550.-- ($3,057.77) for 3,000 litres.

My gas bill never more than 8 bucks. Because I've made fat burners to replace the gas burners in the heater. The fat comes free from McDonalds and Burger King fryer oil waste bins.

The 8 bucks is usually from the cooking.

Hmm Just wear warm cloths. I dont need heater during sleep bed time.
 
Blame on Hurricane katrina and Rita!!! That is what makes all of your gas bill shot up! Expect around 75% increase in gas bill! It has been warned last October. So, thus prediction is indeedly correct.

Thinking of buying a house with all electric? It will be MAJOR mistake in most areas. Good friend of mine have house up in the mountains where no gas, oil, or nothing... Just electric, their electric bill for just one month is WhopppppIIINNNNnnngggg 2,000 dollars!!! I mean just in November!!!
 
ohh man. i would have died to pay $2,000.. ouch! I am turning off vents in rooms that never use in the house trying to conserve heat.. damn.... K
 
$2,000 for that just November... :jaw: I think I'm going faint.... All electricity in the household would be not recommend... that's why I use oil heating... It's cheaper than gas.... but I'm toooo :cold: to have gas in household ..... *goose bumps*
 
I live in the North, (Canada) and I don't wish to live in the south.

I am used to the temperature changes, same for southern people are used of their temperature, if a southern person comes to canada, they will feel like too cold, and otherway for norther to go to southern will feel too hot.

as for my gas bill i have no idea, since i don't pay them lol. In the winter, myu house tend to be cold in my room because temperature not that high, I am used to cold in bedroom, so now i cant sleep if the room is too warm for me. In residence I open my window in my bedroom to i can sleep.

:giggle:
 
Yup, my friend happen to have money. Yes she was so pissed off, and decided to do something and got "Outdoor furnace" where you can burn logs and heats up as many as 4 houses. SHe got two houses to heat.
Expensive investment? yea, but payback is good

It depends on where a person lives. In the South, all-electric is cheapest. We have a heat pump that is also our AC unit. Our electric bill is very low. Even on the most cold months or most hot months, it is only a little over $100 per month. In fact, last year we didn't have any electric bill for a couple months because we used less electricity than the year before. Two months "free"!
 
u wanna know how much my bill is!?!? its friggin nearly 800 bucks... 400 dollars each month. it sucks :( i was wondering of going to HEAP. any advices??
 
I am really shocked at the huge gas, oil and electric bills that you all have. Do you have huge houses, or do you live in extremely cold climates?
