My bills are probably on the high side (especially in the winter) for our ~1600 sq ft, split level with a family of four.

Summer:
Electricity = $40
Gas = $70

Winter:
Electricity = $300
Gas = $200

Water is $45.

Our winter rates are extremely high because of a home business which means we have lights on in our basement for most of the day (although I've replaced the bulbs with LED's this year. I also have a detached garage which I heat with baseboard heaters to about 17C and the overly cold winter last year required a lot of heating.

Our house also has half a dozen old, drafty windows which are being replaced later on this fall so that should make us a little more efficient for heating in the winter and should reduce our NG consumption.
