Another Gas Prices thread.... NATURAL GAS that is!

Seriously guys, just trying to get an idea of what natural gas bills tend to run. Our new house will have a few gas appliances but all I've ever had was electric, so I have no clue as to what natural gas costs.

These are the things we will have running on natural gas:

- furnace

- hot water heater

- stove

What should we be expecting for a monthly bill? Is it really cheaper than using electricity as some people say?
 
Well, how cold does it get in the winter Tx where you live?

During warmer months Say May-October. My gas bill is less than $30 a month. That includes furnace, cooking, and hot water.

When we are in the heart of winter I have seen $250 a month. Maybe 2 or 3 months a year. That is NJ and extended cold spells.

 
It's cheap during the summer but heating can be hellaciously expensive during the winter. It's looking like this winter will be especially expensive with the existing tight supply with Katrina thrown on top.

Yikes!

We rarely get lower than the 30's in the winter here and get maybe one day of snow per year. The winter temps generally are in the 40's or so. You usually don't even need to turn on the heater.
 
Where you are, it won't be bad. $50 a month, give or take $10 depending of sq/ft and just how warm you like to keep things.. It would really go up if your clothes dryer was natural gas as well. But it most likely electric.

 
Holy crap if I read that article correctly and those prices are reflected in the northeast, I can expect to pay as much as $500 a month if it's a really cold winter. 🙁
