Mine tends to run $85/mth all year, AC in the summer heat in the winter.
Oh, and I'm in Vermont, where it's a LOT colder than Virginia in the winter. Get a place that doesn't depend on electric baseboards if it gets cold in the winter, and you'll be better off.

As low as $35-40 in the winter and closer to $120 in the summer.

my apartment uses central heating, but the unit is old, built in 1985 and I had it around 68 degrees in the winter. If I had a new heat pump it wouldnt cost as much.

free heat or you use gas or oil heat?

Central heating/air is just the method of getting the air to the rest of the building, it still has to be fueled by oil, gas, something like that. If it runs all the time and costs a lot of electricity, then I'd say there's something wrong with it. We go about 2-3 months of solid 10F or lower weather up here, and in those months I peaked at $105 of electrical usage, heat at 66F, with it running a lot. Perhaps time to upgrade/fix the unit?
