Some Whine With My Breakfast
From 12/8/05 to 1/11/06, 34 days:
Electric $140.08
Gas $234.64
It was cold in December. Glad it’s warmer now! But damn, do the washer and dryer really use that much electricity? Maybe the air purifiers do?
By comparison, the 27 days 10/11/05 to 11/7/05 were $80.72 gas and $70.52 electric. I can’t find the one that fell mostly in November, but the combined total for the two was $390.59, including any credits and adjustments not reflected in the base readings.
Hey, it’s almost a pattern! Each month has been about one and a half times the preceding month. How sad the warm January will ruin the pattern. Plus we’ve done some sealing of heat loss.
The disturbing thing is that these are low utility rates. In Stoughton the equivalent usage would have been more money.
