And electric if you are feeling really into sharing. Bonus points for sq footage including any finished basement.

House is a little over 3k sf, no basement. Gas at peak is around $280/ month, thankfully this usually is just 2 months a year. Electric is generally $60-70 during non-summer months and $175-250 during June/July/August.

Gas this month: $23
Electric: $56

1500 sq foot house with finished basement that's approximately 500 additional sq. ft.

We have oil heat, lol. Gas is water heater (tankless) and stove only.

We've spent about $1200 on oil this winter FWIW.

Gas and electric--
Winter--$65 for 850 square feet. Summer--$275 ::cries::

At least our bimonthly water bill is only $17

Our house is a little over 5k sq ft. Our gas bill this month was $135, electric $119. We average $300 a month between the two

House is 1957 sq. ft. We are on balance payment for electric and pay $84/mo. Gas isn't on balance payment yet but will be in April. We anticipate the balanced payment will be $25-$30/mo. for gas.

Eta: No basement, single story.  Gas oven, stove, water heater, and heat.

[Redpoppy]

1000 sq foot townhouse, not an end unit, in New England.  Heat is kept around 68.

We spent about $170 a month on oil the last 4 months, which is used for hot water and forced hot water heat. It is a new system.
Electricity has been under $100 a month. In the summer it is usually $150. We don't have central air but do use window units.

ETA: We have a finished basement but it isn't heated.  We have the dryer vented into the basement to let in heat, and use a space heater if needed.  DH usually just puts on a sweater.

[sjh722]

2k sq ft + basement

Gas has been $140-175 over the winter months. Electric about $125.

In the warmer months gas is $30-$40 and electric is $100- $150.

Yay Central Valley? Mine is pretty similar. 1500 sq feet, less than $50 this month over $200 in the summer. $17 bimonthly water!

We have gas heat, in the height of winter the gas bill runs as much as $150. It's $12 in the summer (that's the monthly connection fee since we use no gas in the summer.)

Our electric is always between $100-$150. It hits $150 in the summer because we run the AC.

Last time I calculated, it all averages to about $175/month combined.

Our house is 785 sq feet.

[StJess80]

$0!!!

But we are all electric. 1100 sq ft, ~$149 a month.

[Ashley&Scott]

Gas & electric was $200 last month. Not sure of the breakdown.

1600 sq ft 2 story + unfinished (heated) basement.

[LoveTrains]

1500 sq feet plus about another 500 sq ft in the finished basement.

I do the plan where I pay a set amount each month for gas and electric thst theoretically is an avg for the year. My gas is $105 month and electric is like $120/month ( we have central a/c in the summer).

I have gas heat, stove and hot water heater.

We switched to metered water, and it has saved us a HUGE amount. Unmetered--100.08.  Our bill --16.80.

Approx. 2500 sq. ft. Including finished and unfinished basement. Last couple gas bills were about $200 but we're in Chicago and have had the coldest damn winter and with the baby I've had to keep it a tad higher. This was our 4th winter in the house and it's never been that high ever.

In the winter electric is under $100.

[kwynn]

small 2 story house in Pittsburgh, PA (with half of one story as garage, which is technically heated but we close the vent off often) - approx 1200ish sq feet

Gas (heat left at 64 most of the day, dryer) - $135 last month, $157 this month
Electric (stove, everything else) - $100ish a month

These seem very high to me, but what do I know?

[starlily]

3400sqft; no basement; 2 levels

Last month's bills:
Gas: approx $40
Electric: approx $55

Highest bills since we moved in last June:
Gas: $90 (used the fireplace a lot)
Electric: $330 (unrelenting heatwave)

[pugz]

Both are even pay, electric AC, gas heat. Electric is $104, gas is $60. 1200sf

[bettyfinn]

In Florida with just under 3k of space, no basement and no gas. Everything runs on electric and the ac goes year round bc it's hot. Last month our bill was $260. In the summer months it will be as high as $380 and if we have a cold spell that doesn't require us to use (electric) heat our bill will be under $200.

Average monthly electric $100 (some months as low as $40, summer running the A/C 24/7 $150)

I made a lot of energy efficiency improvements to my house after I bought it. This is well below average for my neighborhood because of all the improvements.

[shortcake2675]

Northestern Nevada 2300 total square feet including full finished basement.

Gas(furnace, water heater)- $120-150

It has not been a super cold winter, but there's pretty wide temp ranges between highs and lows.

[Deleted]

3800 sq ft. no basement.

Gas was $202 in February (which I was surprised about because of the polar vortex and all....)
Electric was $150.

We use gas for cooking too

[mlvmd]

Gas was around $150, electric around $50. This was high due to the extreme cold we've been having. Has generally runs a little over $100 in the winter and $25 in the spring/summer/fall. My electric will go up to $75 ish in the summer due to A/C, sometimes )$100 if it's a heat wave. We have around 1260 square feet with another 600 in the basement.

We keep our heat at 68 when we're there and awake and 65 when we are not.

[RoxMonster]
