TJB GREEN Built Home


Tom,
I thought you would find this kind of interesting and that it may be useful. I have been amazed at how low the combined gas and electric bills have been for the house. It has been as low as $70 and the highest is $120. Essentially, this months bill was pretty much only electricity costs for running the AC. When I reviewed the bill, the house uses essentially no gas in the summer. I use the gas for hot water and for cooking which is apparently so negligible, it did not even use 1 CCF this month. I assume that once the hot water is stored in the tank, it remains hot enough that the boiler never comes back on again. Granted I am only one person, but I still cannot get over how low the energy costs are. Since gas is cheaper than electricity, my assumption is that once I no longer need the AC, the cost will drop once again and that the winters will be even cheaper than the summers. The March and April bills were in the $70 range.

Regards,
Barry
