I live on the first floor of an 1840s house. About 1500sf of living space. Forced hot water radiators and baseboard heated by gas, gas hot water, gas range, electric dryer, electric wall oven, window unit air conditioning in summer.

My total annual gas bill last year was about $2200, with summers under $30 and winter months up to $400. We use balanced billing to even it out.

Electric is about $120 in the fall and spring months. Has gone as high as $500 in winter when we're running space heaters. As high as $350 in the height of summer. We have a second fridge in the basement, a dehumidifier in the basement, and do a lot of laundry and dishes with a family of 4.

We spent thousands of dollars on insulation and more on new windows, energy star everything, there's just no good way to tighten up these old houses.

Most rentals here include water.
