I have a 1500 square foot house. I think wall insulation is R19.
My furnace, stove, water heater and dryer are all natural gas.
I am on a budget plan, so I pay the same amount everymonth year round.
It has been $77 a month for gas. A while ago, I turned down the water heater a bit. On my new gas bill, it said my bill would be going down to under $60 a month.
I also have a small woodstove in my kitche/livingroom. It heats the living area nicely. I run it for a few hours most days of the week in the winter. Not huge cords of wood, just scrap I get from a local cabinet shop and some nicer short logs I split from downed trees on my parents property which isn't too far away.
