I had no idea how expensive this old house would be before we bought it. This month should be lower (fingers crossed) since we kept the heat really low. I don't mind it. We just go upstairs to a carpeted room with our laptops and the dogs and curl up with a space heater. In the summer, the first floor stays quite cool, so we don't have to run the A/C all the time.

I hate to feel better at your expense, but I do a little bit now. I guess I should qualify that ours is combined gas & electric; gas $204 and the rest electric. I forget that other places don't get combined bills. I agree Fit Wallet: WOW. I hate to feel better at your expense, but I do a little bit now.

Oh well. Fit Wallet- WOW. 58 is hardcore! Good for you if it keeps your bills down and you all can stand it. $378 is crazy! I'll send warm vibes your way! :) Courtney- What do you have your heat set at? $200 seems high but if you live in Canada, it may be normal. ;)

Our house is 2,100 sqft in eastern PA. We keep the heat low (58-64). Last month, we let the thermostat inch up to 64 more than we should have, and we paid for it with a $378.00 gas bill and $250 electric bill (space heaters) split between 4 people. This month we are religiously keeping the thermostat set at 58! Our house is about 100 years old, and our furnace is from the early to mid 1980s. Our house is 2,100 sqft in eastern PA.

Our last bill for electricity used from Nov. 10th-Dec. 10th was $248. That includes 3 kids who I am constantly reminding to turn off lights/tvs/computers/etc. I am cringing at the thought of the next bill due, covering Dec./Jan. and the negative 10 degree days here!ugh We have a 2100 square foot house located in Northeast PA, all electric house w/ the thermostat set at 62 degrees.

That is crazy! I think it's great that you can have a sense of humor about it, though! That made me laugh. Kacie- Great idea about the kwh. I should have included that. :) I am excited I won! Thanks!! Ashley- That's awesome. I'll have to look into that. I can't even imagine 115 degrees. That sounds crazy! Miss M- WOW. Another benefit to a small house! K-Money- Sounds like you are the most comparable to me. Our furnace is old too and we had it inspected before we bought the house. Dennis- Wow. That is crazy!
