Usually $150-200 depending how cold it gets.

Funny how the "increased competition amongst providers" brought about by deregulation has basically resulted in GA residents getting assraped every winter. :roll:

$0, our heat is electric, or if we got really bored we could start up the fire place.

we use oil... and let's just say the wintertime is the only time we need a refill. About $180 per month for about 4 months... it sucks.

A/C in the summer increases my electric bill by $20-30. Same with heat for winter. I average around $90-110/mo. during the coldest and hottest months.

new house has no gas
electric ground source heat pump

and a small propane fireplace

my highest electric bill this summer was about $275 , it was a fairly cool summer

we'll see if heating takes more juice than cooling

Just bought my first house in May, so I'm not sure what it'll be. Have gas water heater and gas furnace.

I went from the normal $20 (water heater only, which is a huge waste since half of that is just to be a customer, so if I had an electric water heater I could cancel in the summer) to $41 last month. I fully expect it to double again by mid winter, maybe even a bit more.

In pretty much every situation, prices which were stable skyrocketed after regulation OR after deregulation. It doesn't matter which happens, but prices soar. Companies take it as their best excuse to do a one time price raise. The only exception is if fees soar or if service plummets.

all electric apartment.

but when i was living in a house, my bill never topped $20, even in the dead of winter. total bill never topped $35. small house + resonable temps + compact florescents + CA = cheap bills.

I'm in SoCal. Big house with lots of big open rooms and/or vaulted ceilings=higher heating/cooling costs. Still, I don't run the heat much. My electric bill ranges between $65-120 from lowest to highest. I'm sure I could get it lower than $65 if I really wanted to though.
