I don't really know what the KW cost is
here, but I promise, it's not 2.7 cents. More like 9, at a guess, plus
fuel
adjustments that will knock your panties into a knot.

I hear ya. It's closer to 11 in my neck of the woods.

I've got propane heat in the house and very much regret changing from oil.
The
first year the heat pump/propane was in place, my combined electrical and
propane bill was more than double the preceding (cooler) year's costs. You
save
on furnace cleanings. You get screwed on the cost of the fuel which has
been on
an apparent near perpetual up-tick, at least around central VA, for
several
years now. I expect my heating bill this year to be about three and one
half
times what it was four years ago.

Ouch. I feel your pain. I switched from Oil to NG a few years ago. For me, I
think It was a wash, but it's so hard to tell. I suspect my home heating
costs are close to doubling over the course of a decade with minimal
inflation.


About 8 years ago, I remember buying fuel oil at 70 cents a gallon. I hear
it's close to $2 now. The oil and NG costomer are taking it in the shorts
too.

If it helps, you have company.
