$204 for natural gas. Less than $7 per day. Im not gonna complain.

Lektrik was about $5 per day

300 all lectric

We used to have cheap power ......all these bogus government wind mills and solar farms have driven cheap power up

Armload of wood a day.

Yep, whatever I spent in chainsaw gas.....Think all those new data centers are doing a number on electric rates.

You don't even want to know how much it costs here. (CT) If you saw the costs here , the mods would freak out on the &%€¥&?§ comments.

We have the 2nd highest electric costs here , I think Hawaii is higher. A lot of our heating systems (non full electric) are fuel oil , now being replaced with gas to cut costs. And we have a lot of 100% electric homes. However , we do not have a good NG grid and a lot of places can only access LPG , which costs more than NG. Heating costs are just nuts here. I would not doubt oil and gas suppliers gouge us because they know they have us over a barrel.

However , we do have one thing that works to our advantage. Lots of yuppies and cheap , good firewood they don't want to be bothered with. Easy to get oak , maple and other good woods for free or cheap if you put in the work of splitting & stacking.




Don't ever vote for anything fully electric only like some liberal areas are pushing for with 'green agendas'

The green part is giving away your green.

$164 for my electric bill , $50 in kerosene

168 natural gas

$743.23

2,000.00 for a 2,100 square foot building. Had terrible cold, high winds, terrible frost upheavals since mid December unleveling the building, old drafty building, plumbing designed poor, needs lots of heat tapes. We live in the 900 square foot personage half of the building, the church is the other half. One of the costs of living in a bush village off of the road system.

Gas, 2 stroke mix, a few chains, gas in the truck and tractor a little electric to run the blower, water pump, and computer on the wood burner. But I suspect that cost is off set on not running the electric water heater when the wood burner is running.

The wood burner paid for itself after 4 years on what it saved me in lp. So at least 4 years of nearly free heat at this point. A few hundred a year. Except I did buy a new small chain saw a sthil 261 late year to have some smaller and lighter. Will be several years before its paid for itself. The more I use it the more I realize I like my old 361 better evening it is over 2 lbs more weight

How much is kerosene there ?

In my area , that ($50) would be less than 5 gallons.

$200 in Nat gas plus $100 for electricity. Highest ever since moving here in 2018. Time to change my air filter soon.

Same

You are a bit close to what I pay.........buuuuttt , that is just about what I pay for kilowatt hour for a month. Where they get you here is in the delivery charges. I can pay $500+ for kilowatt hours , but the delivery charges can exceed that easily here. One way to beat the regulators is to keep the kilowatt hours down but rape you on the delivery charges.

Furnace has been off no flame just boiler heat electric was about $180.

I would say last month was a lot more wood than this month is going to be.

Been heating with wood since ’87. I burn a bit of LP in the spring/fall. I’m not sure where all of the $$$ went that I saved over the years. I’m sure my wife could tell me

My gas/electric combined was $204. Not a chance in the world it would be cheaper to burn wood.

my highest bill this winter was 214 for 31 days 6.90 a day
really less than that because with a gas stove , hot water and cloths dryer even in the summer my gas bill is 20 dollars , generally once I get cooking more and heating colder water it is about 35
actual heat is around 5.77 a day

it is weird but not that bad , we have hardly used the furnace for the last 18 years it has been mostly wood

but my furnace had an issue in April it was 61 years old and with the wife having cancer starting last dec I didn't get much wood put up so I bought a new furnace this year and have not used a furnace this much in 18 years

the furnace I had was installed in 1964 and had been rebuilt in 1990 it was a oil furnace.

$419.33. This next month will be worse.

Natural gas

November
$79.03

December
$81.08

January
$246.44

$308 for Electric & Gas combined

38$ geo thermal . 58$ was the highest bill in 22 and a half years. I know we burned over a cord of wood in the shop last month.

Natural gas heat, $114. Biggest charge in 12 years.

mostly wood, in 10 years of living is this house, my total lp bill for a winter has never been over 250

2 gallons of ethanol free fuel and a bit over 5 ounces of oil cuts all my wood for the year, ten gallons of diesel gets it all to the house. The work to cut, split, and stack it saves me a gym membership. Any man with a bit of land should already own a chainsaw, ain't no way it cost me a buck a day and the deer really love my woods when I am done.

I spend more money on snowmobiling than I do to heat my house.

X 3

Ninth coldest winter on record here in PA. Sure am glad I stopped using the furnce thirty-some years ago.

My daughter has over $2,000.00 in fuel oil so far in her new-to-her old farmhouse.

I run a wood boiler. The power used is just a small portion of my monthly power bill of roughly $150. I won’t pretend the wood ends up piled there for free though, time is money.

My time working as a contractor is money, good money. My time cutting wood is not. I could be sitting around watching a movie or doing nothing at all. Instead, I choose to provide heat for the winter.

Who would I be billing those hours to if that time is money?

We just buy wood by the truckload

The last load cost 3500$ cnd

7-8 year supply

Of course it still needs to be bucked and split which takes 4 days/per year supply

2 wheelbarrows /day

$235 for gas and electricity.

$345.00 for profane in the state our gov. says has unlimited gas Well maybe in Lansing

0 free from the ground.

I run a pellet stove for the whole house. Burned maybe 10 bags. 70 ish bucks electric bill wasnt much higher

312 Natural gas and electric gas hotwater heat 68 degres 45N 92.5 W

$355 and that's w/ a wood stove insert.

$170, all electric

Last month was $186, this new bill is $206. That’s for electric and natural gas combined. We have gas range, gas hot water heater, gas furnace, gas dryer and everything else electric. This new bill is the largest one for this season. Goes down below $100 in summer.

$150 for pellets plus whatever little electric the squirrel cage fan takes.

$789 Canadian pesos in January, $707 last January. That’s at about $0.095/kwh.
House & shop is 100% electric.

My elec bill was up about $40 from what it usually is in the fall and spring. I heat with wood in my cabin with back up elec heat. I also heat a 20 foot insulated shipping container I use for storage but I don't keep that container very warm. That's probably where the $40 dollars went. My cabin heaters never kicked on hardly .It was pretty warm the last month with only a handfull of really cold nites here in SE Nebraska

All Propane and electric here and it bounced between $200 and $300 the last couple months. That includes our whole home Generac generator briefly running each morning on its daily testing cycle too. That is a propane engine in that thing and will run the entire home if needed. We have a large propane tank.
February so far has been extremely mild and I expect this month to be very low. Only one day this month has been below average temp all other days well above average. 50s this weekend and almost 70 forecasted for Monday. Will be 2nd or 3rd time touching 70 this month.
I’ll take that.
We have a fairly decent sized home at 3,200 square feet so a couple hundred to heat it in winter seems OK by me.
Jim

About 2 facecords of the split stuff.

With temps like that, I'm surprised you used any heat!

100% heat with wood, but have a propane gas stove as a backup....The hot water heater is electric, and it's in a back room that doesn't get much radiant heat from the woodstove.

So we wrapped the hot water heater with a insulation blanket, and that saved a lot of electric usage for cheap.

Gas fired HVAC heating here. Electric was $87, gas was $40. Watch hummingbirds on the feeder all day long. Love AZ in the winter.

1,400 square foot ranch home, no basement. For decades we heated with wood and used only a bit of heating oil in fall and spring. Severe back injury prevents me from heating with wood. New this fall we had installed a supposedly high efficient propane furnace which in January used $481 in propane. Electric water heater and furnace blower $244. So $725 total for January which seems outrageous.

We are building a new house this spring. 2,500 square feet and it will be very well insulated.

Is your propane piped in from somewhere and metered like natural gas? That sure seems like a lot of propane.

Like 10 a gallon I think we can only get the jugs from Walmart and the like

465 for propane, plus 234 for electricity.

$122 for natural gas, which feeds the stand-alone fireplace, (main heat source for the house), water heater and range, and electricity was $146., which powers 1 baseboard heater and all appliances except the range.
Our electricity is bizarre. We used $48. in actual power, but then get charged a "delivery fee", "equipment rental" for using the lines and power poles!, (no kidding), a subsidization charge for those that can't afford electricity, another charge to help our provider, (Pacific Power), pay for the damage wildfire caused due to their lines and exploding transformers, and some other weird thing I don't remember. So basically, our electric bill is about 4 times what it should be for electricity.

I guess I don't understand how propane can be that much. I heat the entire winter on about 900 bucks worth. I have a 1000 gallon tank and have never filled it completely.

Trapdog - the propane is delivered by truck with a long hose to the tanks behind the house. The metering system on the truck is very modern - but that does necessarily mean accurate. However based upon the gauge before the delivery, the metering system seems accurate.

Our house is not well insulated or efficient. We have made it as energy efficient as possible. The new house will be larger, but we expect it to use no more energy than this house.

Your house must be very well insulated. What have you done for thermal efficiency?

Tank was filled yesterday for our monthly fill up, 130.9 gal @ 3.399 per gal. 20 bucks to deliver.

It is a small house to begin with, so that helps. I've added a little insulation in the attic and upgraded the doors and windows, And the windbreak I planted some years ago is finally getting big enough to be effective.

When I lived in Alaska, my gas bill (heating, cooking, hot water), was less than $50/month. Now, I burn about 400 gallons of oil per year plus wood cut on my own place.

This month's bill was $1,060.08, a new record for us.

Burned $360.86 in propane Oct -Jan. bill came Feb 13th
