[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ouch. My wallet hurts. 1700-square-foot house, 85 years old. New double-pane windows, new attic insulation. $250/month May through September. 80 during the day and 76 at night. We turn off lights and appliances when not in use. Gas cooking and heat. What are we doing wrong???[/quote] Have you tried getting a "smart" thermostat like nest? It manages the temps in your house all day, notices when the house is empty, etc. I don't know how much we saved on which changes, but I live in a 1200 square foot rowhouse (100+ years old). We were paying around 250-260 for heat and electric (averaged out over the year). As part of a kitchen renovation, we replaced some insulation and a couple of windows. We also installed a nest thermastat. Our bills dropped to $170 per month over the year. [/quote]
