What does it cost to heat your house in a month?
Hey guys what does it cost to heat your house in a month?. My last months bill was $225.00 and our house isnt that big. I heat with natural gas. I cant imagine what some of these business owners pay to heat there buildings. You guys in the southern climates this probably doesnt apply to you. I live in Nebraska and it gets cold.

I am one of the lucky ones... Forced Air/Oil heat, small house (but not insulated very well), digital thermostat. My heating bill is about $300 per year.
When I put in the programmable t-stat, usage was cut nearly IN HALF. Best $70 I ever spent.
Now the other half... her house (we each have a house) is gas-fired boiler (brand new) with radiators. Old house with pretty bad insulation although we added a bunch to the attic. Her gas bill during the Winter is $200-$250. And she swears up and down gas & radiators are better... My house is never cold... hers is freezing half the time...
We're in PA and NJ.

~$600 a year to fill the propane tank (furnace, space heater, stove, dryer), ~$80 a month for electric. The diesel powered torpedo heater in the uninsulated shop is a different story...glad it runs good on non-taxed diesel...keep it set at 40 degrees or warmer and have so far gone thru probably 75 gallons since October. Burns about a gallon an hour when run on continuously. It'll burn about 7 gallons per 24 hours to keep the shop 40 when it's 10-20 degrees outside.

December's bill was $425. All we do is heat with natural gas. We keep the upstairs a little warmer (73) due to the kid's rooms is up there and the little one is 1yr old. That is the highest it has ever been. The gas and electric company went up 75% just on the gas the last few months. Of that bill $335 was gas alone.
