Hey Doax,
My house is 1500 square feet.
All gas appliances.
Gas bill had been $77 monthly year-round (budget plan). After I turned down the water heater and thermostat a tad, it dropped to $55.
Electric bill runs around $35. We use compact fluorescent light bulbs pretty much everywhere and have pretty good daylighting.
House was remodeled a few years back with good modern windows, good insulation, and two skylights. I know skylights are bad for thermal, but great for lighting!
If my house wasn't under a tree and pointed the wrong way, I would go for a solar hot water heater to preheat water going into my gas water heater. It is amazing what difference a few degrees makes with water.
