We are ex-northerners at one of the cooperative extension lectures the speaker asked how many of you are northerners. Typical show of hands kind of thing. His next line was forget everything you knew about gardening.
The same is true for heating. First of all the cost of electricity is roughly half of what we used to pay per kilowatt hour. Cold? When it drops to 40 you will see some pulling out their ear muffs.
Heat. In most homes your heat is provided by a heat pump. Essentially your,
same air conditioning system running in reverse-pulling heat from the air. Our home is roughly 2x the sq footage of our used to be N.Y home and our cost for utilities, we did not have central air in NY is roughly half what it was.
We have 2400 sq feet, elect hot water and cooking average electric bill about $100 per month.
