Your cost of heating?

[TTech]

Since therers a temperature in your house thread,why not.

We pay approx. 180eu or 220 $ monthly if we keep it at around 21-22 C (70-71 F) and when its below freezing especially.. Its very expensive. Natural gas heating /water. House that is about 30 y old and its not really that great (6cm insolation). When I look at these new houses, they spend 300 per year, incredible.
Summer is cheap of course , around 40-50 bucks.
If we keep it lower, at around 67-68, we can come down to even half but we have to use electric heaters then a few times a day.

a lot because I keep the bitch on 80(american units) usually

except when I go to sleep then I drop it to 68. but as soon as I wake up I turn it back to 80 and lay in bed until it heats up again

Expensive cus the shit is never cheap

Less than $100 a month and I live in ND. I use a corn stove as my main heater and propane as supplement heat. I buy the corn used in the heater from a neighbor in bulk so I pay around $2.00 a bushel. On the worst days I go through about 40lbs a day, corn is about 56lbs a bushel. There is a cost associated with the fan running, but there will be a cost running a fan with a propane powered heater so I don't factor that into expense.
My propane furnace usually doesn't kick on until it's about 0F.

Lol at people paying for energy........... I collect horse poo and pile it up against the outside walls of the house, just like the Victorians did with their greenhouses.........

Zero for heating (other than the water heater).

However, average about $140 a month for AC.

January bill was $348. Electric furnace.

Gas bill is never more than like $50. It's mostly from cooking although in the winter I do run the heat in the morning from time to time to raise the temp from 61 or 62 to 70 for a couple hours.

The electric bill on the other hand... I'm not looking forward to summer. I live 20 minutes from the beach so it gets hot where I'm at. This will be my first summer in this house and I expect the electric bill to be at least $300 over those months. That's why solar panels LOOM.

Usually around $100 during the winter depending on how cold it gets. This month it will probably be $110-125 since it's super cold. I keep the thermostat at 68 or 69F and then drop it to 63F when I'm sleeping since I like a cold room and have a comforter.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

About $60 in the winter so far. Not sure about summer. Haven’t lived here long enough.

In Manchester we pay about £40 (US$55/Ca$70) month throughout the year, so a surplus builds in the summer and draws down in the winter. We have a reasonably new natural gas boiler.

In Winnipeg we paid twice that as winter last for five months there. Before that it was either my parents paying or me just throwing money at it without paying attention or having to think about budgetting.

New York or Ontario?

 

[Cantalope]

Gas is only $25 a month. It'll get up to $50-60 depending on how much I run the heat.

Is that the same as a wood burning stove? I’ve never heard of a corn stove, I’d like to know more about it.

It's a pellet stove. Some will only do wood pellets. The one I have will do wood pellets, corn, soybeans, and something else I can't remember off the top of my head. The only maintenance is having to empty a tray of ashes every couple weeks, the tray is about the size of a kleenex box.

My electric/gas bill has been much higher than usual over the past year. Probably partially due to PG&E increasing prices since they got sued and their stock crashed. May consider putting up solar. Tesla solar panels doesn't have the best reviews in terms of customer service, but their prices can't be beat. Every competitor is double the price or more.
