I’ve been getting what feels like “low” electric bills and I wanted to understand them a bit better so it means fun stats time!
Baseline gas load ~$25/mo
Baseline electric ~$45/mo
Minimum utility load ~$70/mo
Maximum utility load ~$195/mo (~3x base load?)
Average utility cost ~$130/mo (~2x base load?)
If you assume that the month with the minimum cost’s average temperature was 73 degrees (May @ $90), it looks like every degree below that costs $2/degree, but every degree above that costs $7/degree. Don’t know what conclusions to draw.
