I have two places, both in the DMV, one with Pepco and one with BGE.
Pepco, 1200 sq ft: $160
BGE, 2600 sq ft: $85
Same temperature.
The BGE one does have a newer HVAC, so that might explain some of the discrepancy.

On dual fuel systems you can set the temp where it switches between heat pump and furnace for heating.
Yep, one guy who quoted us just recommended programming the thermostat to switch to furnace around 40 degrees. Kind of defeats the purpose of a heat-pump but it does mean less fossil fuels and heat pumps are not that much more expensive than AC systems anyway.

Ours was $450 last month, over $600 in the middle of winter. It’s a lot. Large turn of the century house.
