    Lol I don’t even use it for heat or cooling. 10 people live here and it is a big house with 5 bdrm and 3 bath. We live on an island and have to pay diesel surcharge to maintain a diesel power station in case the hydro power fails. We also have a water pump which probably adds to it.

    My heating fuel has been as high as $700 in one month in winter. A friend pays over a thousand because their house is not insulated properly.

    That is why it is scary when they talk about rates going up. I am already making hard decisions about what to eat. There isn’t wiggle room for continuous rate increases. We will obviously find a way, but it sucks for sure.
