We pay $30/month for all our electricity, but we live in an inside apartment, and a fairly temperate climate. We only turned the heat on 3 days last year. More this year now that we have a baby that doesn't have the option to just layer an extra blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278477 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 21:43:49 +0000 HLK208 1278477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our new house is so much less expensive to heat. It's about $20-40 a month in the winter. </p> <p>Our old house was smaller but older and about $140 to heat during winter months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278459 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 21:33:54 +0000 mlm2934 1278459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh just got our bill yesterday and it's $213!!! :( non-winter it's usually around $140</p> <p>ETA: our water, electric, trash is all one bill </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278427 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 21:18:41 +0000 lavender 1278427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spent $500 last month to fill our oil tank up. Halfway done, hoping I won't need I refill it till Jan. we keep our house at 64 during the day and 60 at night. At our old house and we had gas and we averaged $200 a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278408 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 21:07:05 +0000 winniebee 1278408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>225 last month. Holy crap. In Boston we had a 2 bedroom apt and it was like 125 a month in the winter. We are in northern Nm now and it's been very cold and we have a big house. Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278405 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 21:05:48 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1278405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is gas heat and it jumps to about $75 in the winter (from $22), but it's a tradeoff from our higher electric bills in the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278354 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:47:50 +0000 PurplePumps 1278354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 2700 for the season to heat to 62. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278343 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:43:12 +0000 lemondrop 1278343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the winter, anywhere from $50-70, but in the summer we usually spend about $300 a month for AC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278334 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:39:51 +0000 Periwinkle 1278334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been all over the place this winter so far, but our electric/gas bill during the winter months is anywhere from $150-$200. Yeah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278325 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:35:48 +0000 spaniellove 1278325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the peak of winter, our bill (gas/electric combined) is in the $400s. We have two units, though, and a lot of square footage...and tomorrow we're replacing the unit that heats most of the home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278317 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:33:11 +0000 Smurfette 1278317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was $60 last month. But it got cold this month, so I will be interested to see how much it is. Especially since DH installed gas fire logs and he turns it on every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278308 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:29:31 +0000 yoursilverlining 1278308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We heat via propane and live in New England and nov-April range from $350/month - $500/month. We have a very energy efficient home, propane is just insanely expensive. We keep our house about 62 during the day, 64-68 at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278278 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:17:44 +0000 Bao 1278278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: haha sounds like us, about doubled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278275 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:16:26 +0000 MrsBrewer 1278275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last month it was $90, and I just got the bill this month and it was $170!!!! Yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278272 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:15:47 +0000 pinkcupcake 1278272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, around $150 a month. We have all hardwood and unless we keep the temp at 71, it's just way too cold for LO. </p> <p>Pre-LO, we kept it at 67 and just wore extra layers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278270 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:14:18 +0000 MrsScottish 1278270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are on the "budget plan" which means they take your average cost per month over the year, so even though it is more expensive in the winter, you pay the average all year and it all evens out. We usually end up with a credit at the end of the year actually. Our budget for hydro- gas and electric is $150 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278261 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:10:19 +0000 Beyond2 1278261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're really lucky. We have a wood boiler and free wood supply (just have to do the labor!). Our heat is at 80* and we pay nothing.</p> <p>We do have propane back up. We have a 500 gallon tank that we fill once every 4 years or so. It cost $1,000 last time to fill it. We burn propane mostly for our stove and grill though. I can't remember the last time we turned the propane furnace on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278253 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:06:18 +0000 petunia354 1278253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a 250 gal oil tank that gets filled probably 3x a year (live in new england) and we keep our thermostat at 67-69 in the winter. So annually, to heat our house and hot water we probably spend on average, maybe $1800-$2000. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278250 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:05:27 +0000 fussygal 1278250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure about just heat since ours is electric, but our electric bill is usually around $60 and during the winter it's closer to $80. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278246 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:04:00 +0000 CottonCandy 1278246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just bought the house in November, and we don't have experience with having oil heat before but we are trying to be conservative since oil is a lot more of a cost than gas heat. But yea, I am assuming it'll be a couple months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278237 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:01:21 +0000 Bao 1278237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CottonCandy: So how long will that last? 2/3 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278231 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 19:59:43 +0000 CottonCandy 1278231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have oil...we didn't need them to completely fill the tank (thank goodness!) but our bill was $588. We prob have another full up in a few months and I'm assuming it'll be close to that amount or more </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-heat-bill#post-1278222 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 19:55:32 +0000 Bao 1278222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved in at the end of March last year so we didn't need to use the heat very much. We got our heat bill today and I about crapped myself! Last month it was $67 and this month $133. I am sure that isn't as much as some, but it sure did shock me. We have an old house with single pane windows so that doesn't help. We keep our heat at 67/68. What is your heat bill, on average, in the winter months? </p>
