Look at the Billing Information. For example, my gas bill (TECO) shows in December that I used 6.2 "therms". January was a cold month and I used 39.4 "therms". The "PGA" is the purchased gas adjustment. That is the cost of gas purchaed for the customer by Peoples Gas and delivered to your home. That cost was 88 cents per therm. In December 2012, that cost was 78 cents per them. Prices have increased.

Yes, my bill tripled but it was a very cold month and I stayed warm.

Ask yourselves what your gas heating bill would have been in Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, or those other freezing cold places we came from -
and you will probably be glad you pay what you did in January in The Villages.

Check any of your old bills from where you came from and I would bet there is the monthly service charge on those bills, too.

I've had houses with both Gas and all elect. with heat pump. The heat pump was cheaper (as Long as you didn't flip it to emergency heat) even with all the other elect's. figured in. But, the heat pump didn't have the instant heat out the vents like gas. IMO hard to get use to heat pump you feel cold all the time. My gas bill in winter mid US was more than my elect./heat pump bill total. With gas I still had to paid elect bill combined the two and it was 2/3rd as higher than just heat pump all elect house. Unless the Gov. started taxing coal fired plants elect bill will probably bet gas for awhile. Course gas goes up in the winter when everybody is using it. and cheaper in summer when no demand on it. I like gas range to cook on, don't really like gas water heater or gas dryer IMO elect. does just fine. Course with gas being piped in there's change of gas leak or explosion.

Spoke with sister today. They have a smaller home. Her bill on Southeastern Pa was $450.0 for one month. Don't complain about our bills going up.

I like to stay warm and cozy in my home but I will check my next bill.

It is what it is!! :smiley:

TECO Bill
 

For all of us with GAS HEAT, the TECO bill went up significantly in January. I really don't understand how people can be surprised when we had an unusually cold month.

what was there summer a/c bill compared to tv

Its all worth the money just to live here in tv - what ever the price - I would gladly pay more for the privilege of live here

It's winter if your furnace is on the bill will go up. What temperature do you keep it at.
