Martha said:Well winter is coming and Greg is complaining about the new budget payment for the heating bill for natural gas. He says it is Chevy engine size- $396 a month.
Anyone else affected by higher heating bills?
Might need a tube size one too.uncledrz said:Our budget has not yet increased, and from what I read the power company has to get a rate increase approval (most of the gas is purchased by them on forward contract).
DW has informed me, however, that she does expect a significant increase, and that I need to be ready for 65 during the day, and 60 at night.
Looks like I'll need a stocking cap!

The programmable thermostat remembers even if you forget, and it can do it many times per day. Depending on your interest in fiddling with it, it could pay for itself in a couple months.Outtahere said:Has anyone here tried the new programable thermostats? They say they help a lot but I'm not sure it would in my case since we always turn down the heat at night and when we're not home.
