I have 1600 square foot brick ranch built in 1950 with a basement, 10 year old windows and doors, insulation, and a newer gas fired Lennox pulse furnace. My total bill for gas and electric was about $225 for December. I'm on budget billing, so my average power bill is $141/month for both sources combined, all taxes included.
I have a programable thermostat and when I'm home alone I set it at about 65. When I have my daughter or company, I set it to 70. When away, I set it to 62.
I'm also replacing many of my incandesent bulbs with compact florescents as they fail.
