Buck531 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Holy shit. Mine was fully paid last month. This month, I look at it online. $265 fucking dollars. What a joke. And my house is only 1400ish sq. feet. What's your gas bill and how big (roughly) is your house/apartment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 yeah our gas bill went from about $30 a month to $140 a month. so we got on a budget. Oh and our house is just under 2000 sq feet. also our house is only 3 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cgotti Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Mine has been on the kitchen table for a couple of days, after I saw what my parents bill went up to I've been to scared to open it. There's went up from $137 to $460. That's comparing last years bill to this years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00ws6 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Our house is 3600sq ft with a 2k sq ft basement... we keep our thermostat at 63 and it was still around 204 last month. The furnace is under our bedroom so its usually 4-5 degrees warmer in there and the master bath, its freezing in our kitchen and great room though.

Sturg1647545502 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 hahaha ive got a 1200sqft apartment, with one of the walls down stairs made souly of glass w/ french doors... no plastic wrap over any windows and ive got a 35$ gas bill....although i do keep the thermostat at 60 when im home and 58-57 when im not. hoodies, fleece and a downcomforter on the bed, some wool socks and a hat...im sweating! then again my own personal 15-20lbs of insulation helps a bit too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mithesaint Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 last month was $111 for a 1300 sq ft townhome. I'm a heat nazi though....65 during the day, 60 at night. That was my highest bill ever. I've only even hit $100 once before. Could be a long winter..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 personal electric heaters are the way to go if you need to warm up for a few...grab a new one for 20-30$ and run it when you need to.. just dont fall asleep with it on. and forgetkerosene heaters...to much trouble and columbusFD has ran on alot of fires thanks to 'em. an alternative: congregating a bakers dosen of fat chicks in one room, and you've got yourself a six-ton-sauna -be weary of open flames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Our old house was a large 2 story with 4 bedrooms and full basement. Single pane windows. Older gas furnace. Are gas bills would get to $400-$500 a month in winter. The budget plan is the best way to go if the bills get to rough. Luckily now were all electric.

coty061885 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Dunno the sq/ft of my apartment, but it's 3 levels (basement, 1st, and 2nd floor). Was $30 the other month, $70 last month and $155 for January. We put plastic over every window and door except the front to help. Little good it did.

BloodRed Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Our apartment is around 935 sq ft. Last month our bill was $36, this month it is $98. Of course living in Johnstown, they only come look at the meters 4 times a year, so they are almost always estimated. They won't come back out to take an actual reading till March of next year. I will have moved before they come out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Got mine a week or so ago...$26.xx WOOT WOOT!! 1200+ sq ft apartment, I keep it at 70 during the times were home/all night, and drop it down to like 63 when we're gone during the day. It hardly drops at all during the 10hours we're out at work/school. It sure helps that we are on the top floor with only one outside wall.
