[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 568823, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]I have natural gas heat. My house isn't large and is very well insulated. My utility bill, electricity and gas, arrived today, for December and is $328.00. Any month, regardless of season, since I built this house in 1983, has ever been over $230. Then I looked carefully at the itemized bill. Average temperature for December 2020 and 2021=identical, 27 degrees. Amount of gas used for the month, virtually the same for both years. The cost per unit of gas has nearly doubled. I phoned my older daughter and asked about her bill. She has a 4 bedroom, fairly large suburban home. "I knew that gas was about to double in price, so I had a programmable thermostat installed. When we're not home and when we're sleeping, we keep the house fairly cool, in the low 60s, otherwise at 67. We still had a huge jump from last year." I'll pay, whatever the cost, to be comfortable. I'm not going to spend my late 70s shivering in my house.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
