Reply #18: where do you live, and do you have gas heat/ [View All]

[yellowdogintexas]

I have my electric on an all year averaging plan and my electric is about 200 a month.

my furnace is gas, and my winter bills are never above $70. Of course here in North Texas it doesn't get that terribly cold, I like to sleep in a cold room, and I have a water bed and four cats to take care of any night time chill I may encounter.


I keep my house very cool in the summer because I am not heat tolerant at ALL.


We so seldom have extremely cold weather that I just don't use much heat. The only other thing I have that uses the gas is the water heater; my summer bills are around $20. This will change when I get the gas stove, but then the electric will go down some.

We have 1900 sq feet but it is well insulated and we have a huge shade tree.
