    So, how much are you all paying for heat this winter season? What do you keep your temperature at?

    Oil spent thus far = $250
    Future Oil needed = $250

    i'm really frugal with the heat... i keep it around 62 in the day and down to 57 at night. it works out to around 150-200 a month in winter

    My last heating bill was $85. I keep the thermostat at 71'.

    I have a couple of electric wall heaters that help keep the main areas of the house warm and that probably saves me $75 to $100 a month.

    I pay $264 a month for electricity and gas heat. It's the same every month because it's a budget plan.

    Good news: Just bought a house in September that sits on 6 acres with lake acess.

    Bad news: Poor insulation/windows and doors are not energy efficient = $800 and counting in heating oil since 11/1. Remodel will take place as soon as I sell my previous home that now sits empty. Thermostat is set at 60.

    Ridiculous I know, but I practically stole the new property.

    2 cords of wood = $430 (stacked)
    125 gallons of propane = $318.75

    ~ $750 should get me through the long Vermont winter. Not many things I love more than my wood stove, efficient as a mofo!

    Keep it 69 - 70 . Natural gas heat and the bill is about $140 a month. Unfortunately we are on a budget . So that's the bill in the summer also.
