Wowzers. About a third of that. Sometimes even less. I have pretty good insulation though I guess and I keep the house hot. Especially when I am not home. I have no problem with keeping it at 75+ when I am not home and 73-74 when I am . Plus my house is in a lot of shade. $300+...wow. That would suck.

I rarely see a heating/cooling bill over $100, usuallly $70-$80. Live in a townhome so I'm insulated on 3 walls with south facing windows which is really nice in the winter time.

This winter was the first time I hit over $500 for a month of natgas and electric. I think both Jan/Feb nailed me. The spring is a nice lull where its $120ish. I think I'll be back in the $300 area given that my wife and kids are home all day and need the A/C on.

Guess it all depends on where you live.
The heater/air conditioner has been turned off for the past month and a half in my house but then it's spring in Wisconsin. : )
(no idea what the bill is as the SWMBO takes care of that sort of thing in our house)

Oh yeah, and I bet having a kegger and ingredients fridge in the garage AND a fermentation fridge in the basement isn't quite helping me out in the electric bill dept..

In winter my utilites (it's all combined: gas, water, and electric) average around $120 a month. In summer I'm usually around $50 or $60 a month.
