Update for 3200 SF, 4 Floors, roof ins, new boiler etc.
The Feb 4 bill was $520, way up from last month’s $280.
National Grid sends me bills for $600 to $800 every month in the winter for a 700-foot apt in the middle floor of a row house. This has been going on for a year. I am so fed up I could scream. They already “adjusted” it many times, sent someone out who discovered the meter reading was double what it should be, and still the phony bills continue.
If they can’t bill accurately, they should be shut down.
3200 SF, 4 Floors, Attached, Double-glazed windows less than 5 years old, basement steam pipes are fiberglass wrapped.
Last winter, our gas bill was an average
$570 a month.
This year we filled the attic with R40 blown-in roof insulation and replaced the forty-year-old gas-fired Weil-Mclain steam boiler with a smaller gas-fired Burnham steam boiler. We also lowered the night temp on the thermostat from 68F to 64F btwn midnight and 6am…
So far, the gas bill this winter is $280 a month…
I should add: Building is attached. Insulation was put in both the front and back walls, and the roof, as part of the renovation. 3150 sq ft total (all 4 floors).
$300 for January, cold month. 4-story, 2-fam brownstone, recently renovated. New high-efficiency Weil-Mclein gas boiler. Baseboard radiators on garden floor, hydronic heat on parlor and upper floors. New windows, which makes a HUGE difference. Garden apt was 70 day, 66 night. Upstairs apartment: Weekend was about 70 during the day, off at night (and by morning it would still be in the low 60s); weekday was set for 70 for just a couple hours in the morning, and a couple hours in the evening.
212Gl of oil (~450 USD). 12/23 – 1/22
semi attached rowhouse. Just bought and first week of the month roof was not insulated. Original 1910 oil burner converted from coal, water heat. 2650Sf, 9′ ceilings.
Months before this was $970. I spent a lot of effort to get heating cost down. And I am not even half way there.
For my 2700 sf detatched Victorian the bill at arrived on Friday was $666 and the previous month was $466. Only one more high month to go and we’re through the worst of it.
My Jan. 2nd. monthly gas bill was $314.48.
2800 sq. ft., attached three story house, with insulation in the cock loft and triple-glazed windows–ceilings 8.5, 11, and 9 feet. Thermostat set for 65 day/55 night(although it virtually never actually drops that low, unless it’s single digits outside, so the heat seldom goes on overnight). I have an (aprox) 45 year old Lennox gas furnace (forced hot air) which was tested at 74 percent efficient about 15 years ago.
corner property attached on one side. 4 story brownstone dec15 to jan 15 $788.
