Nicor Gas Cost

[Pressure Ratio]

Mine also went up, and so did the bill, by a lot. They estimated the previous month so I got stuck with a much larger bill this month.

Same here. Last months bill was lower than I expected. The current bill was measured and made up for the last bill. Thankfully my well insulated and small house costs me very little to heat and cool.

Because 900sqft....

As well as being insulated by other apartments above, below, behind and next to it. My g/f's condo hardly uses anything for heat as she keeps it at a cooler temp. The neighbors probably have their heat cranked and she benefits from it.

residual heat is a nice perk with apartments. Have one of those neighbors that like to set the t-stat around 90 and you get some nice benefits like a low gas bill lol

In the summer last year my townhouse stayed around 74-75 even when it was 90 outside. Well, as long as i kept the sun out it did.

i don't think residual heat matters for townhomes.
i am the middle unit ( 5 total ) and my front fascia has brick.

i still got whacked.... i feel bad for the larger models on the end. they must've gotten it without vaseline

Windows, gotta have windows. With the sun shining into the crizo I can easily cut the time my heat is on by 1/2. If not more.

i have windows... on both sides... the front of the house faces west, so i get all of the afternoon sunshine.
and
my house was built in 2010 so everything is energy efficient blah blah blah

Mine went up $70 in one month. I'd be bitching more if I was paying $600 though! I need to blow in some more insulation next fall and see if it makes a difference.

it really helped my house.

I been paying an average of about $200/month for these winter months. I have an older house with poor insulation. Which reminds me...I need to call up and have them install the "smart" meter and turn the pilots on after they're done. At least for the heater for the house, I can do everything else.

*I keep my house between 70-73 when I'm home. When I leave and know I will be gone most of the day, I'll turn it down to about 60.

Average bill for my house is about $140.00 a month. Keeping it at 66-67* helps a lot

 

[Jfrost]

Just got my bill, normally it's right around $110 but this month it's $296, wtf that nearly tripled!
