Monday - January 30, 2006 at 01:16 AM inJanuary gas bill
We got our January gas bill, the first one since our wood stove was installed. This bill covered 35 days, of which about a week was before wood heat.
It has been unusually warm this month, so I'm obligated to correct the gas savings based on the temperature. This past month, we used 3.74 therms/day, as compared to 10 therms/day we would have used without turning down the thermostat or using wood heat (I based the 10 therms/day figure on our gas usage last year as a function of average temperature--it turns out to be an almost linear relationship, as you would expect). So we saved a total of 221 therms this month, at just under $1.20/therm, or $264.35. While I was at it, I went back and corrected the calculated savings for the past three months for temperature. So far this season, we've saved $542.34, and the heating season is only about half over. We should pass $1,000 in savings by a big margin. Posted at 01:16 AM | Permalink | | | |
