JohnMitchell 16 #51 January 28, 2008 Quote For both gas and electric, average about $18 summer & $24 winter. Is your apt. surrounded on both sides and top and bottom by other apts? I used to have a 3/4s basement apt. like that, with a Southern exposure. Warm in the winter, cool in the summer, it was perfect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,590 #54 January 28, 2008 Quote Also don't have an LCD or Plasma TV which I hear can suck power, even when off. Easy solution: All my entertainment gear plugs into a switch box with 12 individually-switch receps in the back and a master switch. I hit the master switch when I'm done using it, and it can't use any current when it is off. Same system for all my computer gear."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

ryoder 1,590 #56 January 28, 2008 Quote Quote About $4 for electric a month, about $10 for gas. I think electricity is running around 12 cents/kwhr. (Complex because they have a graduated scale.) Are you living in a highly insulated dog house???

turtlespeed 226 #58 January 29, 2008 QuoteWell, actually I'd like to see what other people are paying for both gas and electricity this month. 1100 SF and I pay 115/Month including sewage, water, electric, gas and taxes.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BerryBoy 0 #59 January 29, 2008 I pay about $175+ a month for electric in the summer and $50 a month in the winter. For gas, I pay $20 in the summer and $200+ in the winter. To put this into perspective, I am heating/cooling a 1,900 square foot home with high ceilings and a large upstairs bonus room. My AC is electric. The furnace and hot water heater are gas. Winter is typically in the 20's to 40's (F) in the winter and 85 to 95 F in the summer. I keep my thermostat at 71 in the summer and 68 in the winter. I would much rather be cold than hot! My first winter after moving into my home, I set the thermostat to 74 and paid a whopping $350 as a result...that's why mine STAYS at 68 F. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaM 0 #60 January 29, 2008 Gas says 0.7695000/Therm. Just got our first bill. Gas $245 and electric $52. About 2550 heated space. I'm flipping out. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
