A neighbor told me that her sister in Michigan is expecting her heating bill to be over $600.00 for Feb. That’s criminal.

It gets cold here in central Illinois too but my highest bill ever was $265. That's electric and N.G. combined. My 4 bdrm. house is very well insulated and I have a 2 year old furnace and A.C. Since getting the new units, my highest bill has been about $230

Yep, $600 is criminal, unless your neighbor's sister has a huge house.

That’s not bad.

My neighbor is in her late 80’s and tends to exaggerate so maybe that’s the case with her sister’s heating bill.

She’s a nice old lady. She said Obama “...needs to go to Dallas and keep the top down”.

This is why I’m on a budget plan with the gas company. My monthly bill is $89 except for July/August when I make up any shortfall for the budget plan year. Usually, it’s no more than a few dollars. This way, no surprises.

Here in MA with the thermostat at 63 or lower, the NG bill for this 3 bedroom.6 room apt was 209.00 last month for 152 therms. The landlady paid around 500 as she is on the top floor (more wind) and keeps it at 75.00
