Thanks for your response. You simply use a lot less electricity than we use. Our house is almost three times the size as your house, and we simply use more electricity. I checked a recent statement, and we consumed 1,345 KWH, and they charge 8.8 cents per KWH. The total monthly bill for electricity was $192.62, which also includes the 'junk' fees. Besides that it was $70.88 for 126 therms of natural gas. In the deep winter, just the natural gas alone can get close to $300 in a very cold month. We have the temperature set at about 74 degrees all year, either heat or AC.
