Bolas 5 #26 January 27, 2008 All electric - Around $100 a month summer/winter. 3 br 2 bath house. I run the heat around 60-65 and the AC around 80 when alone and am gone alot. Also don't have an LCD or Plasma TV which I hear can suck power, even when off. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

ChangoLanzao 0 #32 January 27, 2008 Quote Quote Ouch! Well, 3300 sq ft. home, 15 years old, gas heat, electric dryer, thermostat set on 68. Our combined gas/electric bill was $350 last month. I thought that was bad, but I guess I'm doing okay. Yeah this house is a energy waster like no other I've even lived in. It's a LOT of glass, 22 windows that are 6' X 4 ' and another 20 of a more 'standard size', we are in the woods and the views are spectacular...but it's all the old single pane non insulating type. It also has several 2.5 story cathedral ceilings that do nothing but trap heat way up high...not good in the summer OR winter. Sheesh! It's interesting to see how much people are paying for their total bills, but I guess I didn't pose my question clearly in the first place. I'd like to know what the costs are per unit of energy. To get an idea of what people are being charged per kWh of electricity, per gallon of propane, and/or per ccf of natural gas. It's all there on your power bills ... I guess most people skydivers just really only care about the total costIn my case, I use electricity instead of propane whenever I can because it's cheaper here. I save the propane for heating my 18 ft diameter pool to 102 °F twice a year for our Giant Hot Tub and Water Training Extravaganza Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theres also a $.0018 Conservation program charge, and a $.00342 Power Cost Adjustment, so you can add half a penny to those first numbers. I did get a wind power production credit of $.00156 per KWH.Let's call it about 8-9 cents/KWH, average. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
