BrianZ06 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 What are you paying ? and how do you compare. My mom thinks she is paying way to much and would like to compare rates and I do not know where to start since I have propane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 i thought i wanted electric heat since i had it at my apartment, but gas heat = so much better idk how much we pay, since i dont pay the utilities, but i think for last month the bill was $31 or so. and holy shit to the person paying $160/mo for an 800 sq/ft apartment. the highest ive seen it at my 1400sq/ft house was this past winter when it was cold as fuck, and i think it was *maybe* $140-150.

BrianZ06 Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I pay 48 cents a cubic foot That is cheap. Who do you have ? Electric heat would kill me and my wallet. I just put in a new 95% gas furnance and replaced an old 15+ year old unit, so I can not wait to see how much I will be saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 That's why it's not bad. Try not having a fuel alternative. It's awful. We obtained a kerosene heater from the parents to heat the lower section of our house. But it makes me woody after a few days of use even with a window cracked and the ceiling fan on.

Orion Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Natural gas prices are WAY down right now, so your bill should be reasonable. Electric prices, on the other hand, are going up (Thank you AEP) making an electric home something you may want to avoid simply for cost reasons. There are lots of reasons why this is happening, but essentially it boils down to this...Columbia gas customer pay what is essentially a variable market rate. Gas is down, your bill is down. Electric customers pay what is essentially a fixed tarriff rate, which means that regardless what the market does, your prices will remain essentially the same. Market goes down, AEP gets paid. I could go into way more detail, but those are the nuts and bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianZ06 Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I might be using my Buck Stove a little more this season, even though I hate messing with the loading and cleaning it works damm good and the heat is a very hot temp.
