The woman and I live at my house, but she’s got one of her own that’s sitting unused at this point. She just informed me what her last gas bill was, and I realized how lucky I got with this house being built by folks that were keen on heavy insulation.
Oh, and all exterior walls are built with 2x6s, not 2x4s.
Hers:
- 1954 construction
- 1400 square feet
- Thermostat: 61 degrees F
- Gas Bill: $130
Mine:
- 1999 construction
- 3000 square feet
- Thermostat: 61 when gone, 64 when home, and usually 70-72 in the living room area at night thanks to the gas fireplace.
- Gas Bill: $112
I was initially pretty worried about the gas bill with a house this size, but I’m been comfortably surprised.
