It’s costs me about $100-$160 a month in the winter for gas to heat my home in the Deep South.
My area is upgrading gas lines and now the base surcharge is $35. However that’s not a forever charge.
My price per therm has more than doubled when I renewed this year. That won’t mean my bill doubled as there about $40 or so in fixed costs before gas use is accounted for.
Edited winter numbers above:
December: $100
January: $120*
February: $160
March: $90
*out of town for one week.

- roflyear 4y agoHow big is your house? That is an insane price to pay. I owned a home in vermont and heated with gas and paid around that.
- wil421 4y agoAround 2,200sqft but that doesn’t include a half basement (heated) and half garage (unheated but gets some heat). Updating my numbers above $170 was an exception.
