Our bills are always higher in the summer and early fall months!
-
WINTER! By like $400 a month!
-
We do level billing so our monthly bill is about the same year round. it makes it easier to budget. But, before we signed up for that it was summer for sure!
-
Summer!!
-
Summer. In the summer (June, July, August) we pay about $300/month. In the winter (early November through early Mach), it's usually about $100-$125. Luckily our heat/cooling bill is almost zero most of the year - I love our long springs and autumns!
-
summer!
-
Definitely winter!
-
Winter by far. We have no gas bill in the summer (well-- like $9 service charge). Electric is higher in the summer but not more than the whole gas bill in the winter.
-
It evens out! We have high elec in the summer but minimal gas, and lower elec in the winter but higher gas!
-
Winter for sure! Wisconsin winters are brutal!
-
Summer! We are currently in Florida.
-
Winter for sure. We're in the NE, so winters get cooooold here! We tend to open up the windows if it's 80 degrees or less during the day unless it's super humid.
-
Usually way higher in the winter (especially last winter!) but my stepkids were here for 6 weeks this summer and OMG the bill I just received!!!!
-
Summer, even though we are in New England -- our heat is so much more efficient than our air conditioner!
-
neither are that bad. our electric jumps by ~$20 a month during the summer with the central air (not on all the time, just when needed, we have ceiling fans that we use as well), but we have a budget plan so they average a full year and we pay the same monthly, i think it's like $75/mo or ~$900 for the year. the gas goes way up when we turn our heat on, otherwise it's just for the water heater. i think it's also usually about $900 for the year. small apartment on the top floor, we get other people's heat & keep the thermostat pretty low in the winter, high in the summer
-
We have electric air and gas heat, so they're actually pretty similar. The cheapest months are obviously the mildest months, but in the summer our gas bill is minimal and our electric bill is big, and vice versa in the winter. They even out!
-
In Wisconsin, definitely winter! It helps that I'm a huge stickler for turning on the A/C in the summer. We've only had it on for less than 4 hours so far this summer.
-
Summer!!! We can't live without an AC in summer.
-
Summer!
-
No A/C here - most don't have it in the NW. So waaaaaay higher in the winter.
-
Winter, the increase is CRAZY!
-
Summer.
-
Usually a little higher in the winter, but not too bad - we have gas heat + electric air conditioning, and generally we run the heat more than the air.
-
Summer for sure. It's 100 degrees here so our AC is on 24 hours a day. In the winter it doesn't really get cold in southern California so we may turn the heater on two or three times but it's rare.
-
Higher in winter. I think we have an AC, but we never use it. It makes, approximately, zero sense up here.
-
Summer, we have long summers and short winters. This last winter (Dec 2013 was rough though with ice storms and power outages, hope it's not as rough this year).
-
Winter
I hate drafty windows.
-
Summer!
-
Summer! We turn on our AC in March and it runs until October. right now, both units run all day long just to keep the house tolerable (80 when we are gone.)
-
Winter, we don't have A/C but we do have high ceilings.
-
Summer hands down! Our A/C runs round the clock.
-
Winter. We have lots of trees that have kept our house reasonably cool this summer.
-
Definitely summer. AC is on non stop and late into the fall in Florida. We rarely turn the heat on in the winter!
-
Winter because we don't have AC. If we had AC it would be summer for sure.
-
Summer!! We dont pay for heat or hot water so the electric bill only goes up because of the a/c.
-
SUMMER!
-
Winter! We don't have air conditioning.
-
Winter by about 3 times as much!
-
Summer, the reason we got solar panels.
-
Winter. No A/C for summer and our place has zero insulation an crappy electrics heaters now.
Our gas heater was annoying and old but cheap to run and did the job well!
I hate drafty windows.
