I do have gas heat tho. Even mid summer my electric bill is never over $200. And yes I live in a house not an apt
Yeah, the gas definitely helps I'm sure.

The problem is that we're renting the house and the damn thermostat is in this tiny downstairs hallway next to a bathroom, two bedrooms, and the garage door. We have an upstairs that is only the master bedroom and bath. Well that hallway can be 68* while the upstairs is like 85* and it takes about 10 minutes for the temp in that hallway to drop enough to kick on the heater. I want to ask the landlord about moving the thermostat but I would doubt he will want to pay for that. At night we turn the thermostat down to 65 just to keep the upstairs from being a sauna and it still seems to kick on every 15 minutes or so. Ridiculous.
