Could be in California: electricity at $0.30 [1], electric resistance heater, house without insulation or even seals in the windows/doors. When I lived in LA I had a gas furnace/gas water heater and spent about $50/month more on gas in winter. I've looked up historic data and it appears gas was about 30-35 cents per therm at that time so I used additional 140 therms per month or (adjusting for the 80% gas heat efficiency) 3300 KWh. If I had a resistance heater and paid $0.30 per KWh it would be about $1000.
