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.

$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.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

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.
