I'm assuming these zones are plant climate zones? If so we're in zone 7. We have a forced-air natural gas furnace, one rarely used gas fireplace, gas clothes dryer, gas water heater and gas stove so there really isn't any way to separate them out except seasonally. The gas bill in August was 28.36, the last bill was $138.82 for Oct. 31 - Dec. 5. I expect the next one to be ~$200, and maybe peak at $250 for February if we get very cold weather. House is 1700 SF. Oh, and we set the thermostat at 78° F. If DW is out I'll run it up to 79 or 80 and yes I'm wearing long pants and a flannel shirt. Did I mention I hate cold weather?
A guy at work used to tease that NASA used the IR signature of my house as a navigational beacon.
This is why having natural gas available was a big factor in buying the house and why I immediately sprung for the extra insulation package when it was built.
