We had oil heat, and no central air. So our electric bill wasn't TOO bad, unless we had to run the room air conditioners for longer than a few hours a day during heat waves. Several of our neighbors had full-house solar electricity (which DOES power the house all day all night, for whoever posted otherwise), but our house didn't have the right pitch roof facing the right direction, and the spot where it would've gotten the most sun exposure was under the branches of a 250-year-old sugar maple tree. So - we didn't get solar and just paid a small fortune every winter for oil delivery.
