Monthly household energy cost per sq. ft.

14 cents. electricity between 21 and 24 cents/kwh, oil around $2.50, propane around $3.75, and $25. worth of firewood fun.
summer a/c 75 in the day and 70 at night. heat 68 in the day and 54 at night.

 

70 degrees winter daytime 62 night. Summer 75 daytime and 73 at night

We have solar panels that have covered all of our electricity needs with a 4kw system. Very small natural gas needs since there is not much need for heat. $0.0089 per square foot per month

 

Both our gas and electric bills stay the same year 'round, adjusted yearly. Six cents a month per square foot. Managed to do a spreadsheet on phone lol.

 

$0.0247 per square foot per month

We have PG&E which has rather high rates by state and national standards. We had been close to net zero on electricity given our solar PV, but starting last year our utility instituted a mandatory $10/month minimum electricity use fee. Still, most of the monthly energy cost is natural gas during our relatively mild winters.

 

I should have added a clarification that there are just two of us Sr citizens, new home, all new energy star appliances and all LED lighting which helps a bunch. Adult children that have moved on. Kids are very energy intensive!

 

Yes, spot the month my wife and I were outa town and our son was home alone, for one week...



And he moved out in June, 2012.

 

Greetings from China. I pay <2 US cents per month per square foot for electricity. Hot water is solar. No space heating here in the south. When the apartment is 10 oC or less I might use an electrical space heater, which is included in the above.

Electricity in Yunnan is nearly 3/4 hydro and the rest coal. Hydro is from dammed rivers that downstream countries sorta don't like. Other parts of China exceed 60% electricity from coal.

Thanks to OP for creating an informative thread. A similar one on water cost would also be good.

 

exactly where should i google real estate?

 

This totally neglects the number of energy users living in a home.

 

two retirees here, but that doesn't change heat and a/c. just a bit of electricity and hot water.

 

My home, two adults, 1440 square feet, all electric, has no energy bill whatsoever until the state solar incentives expire in mid-2020. (Those incentives give us energy income, though all that goes to paying off the PV capital investment.) After that, it will depend on whether or not our overproduction can cover the fixed account charges.

Absent the PV system, and with a couple months of travel absences, we would be burning just under 5000 kWh/year. The tiered rate schedule complicates the average cost of that, but it would fall somewhere between $0.019 and 0.036 /sq-ft/month, biased towards the low end due to our low usage.

Before serious conservation efforts began a decade ago, the annual burn averaged 10,600 kWh/year, which would have pushed monthly cost closer to $0.07/sq-ft under the current rate schedule.

 

finishing up installing a tankless electric water heater today(no gas where i live and LP is just to expensive now vs. elec.) (order on amazon waiting on fedex to show up now) I live by myself so going to be interesting to see what it does to my electric bill

 

i'll be curious as well. how much is a kWh there?

 

just looked at my last bill and it came out to $0.12 per kwh

 

nice, i'd go electric if mine were that low. no gas here either. they make propane models, but that's way more than 12 equivalent cents around here.

 

well the installation is done now, and so far I LOVE it, still playing with the temp setting but............. now hope I still say that come winter in central; Ohio
