I'm curious how I compare with others in my natural gas usage.

I used 120 therms in the past 30 days (about 4 therms per day).
HOW MANY THERMS DID YOU USE LAST MONTH?

I do realize that there are _many_ factors that affect usage but
there is
only one number for your final usage. That's what I'd like to compare.



Well, how cold is your climate? How well insulated is your house?
What is your indoor temperature?

I'm in a mild climate (~ 2700 degree days a year, that's cooler than
LA and warmer than San Francisco) with nightime average lows in the
30's. Currently I'm all electric, with electric space heaters and am
living in about half of a 2000 SF house. I used 850 kWhrs or about 30
therms last month and I think it may have historically been a bit
above average in temps.

Now, I actively try to reduce consumption (I'm in a 1920 house).
Your useage for a mild climate seems high to me. Not for a cold
climate though.

Hi,
What is therm? Here in Alberta measurement is by the Giga Joule.

By definition it is 100,000 BTU's. Blame the British and their Thermal
Units!
