| | | Thanks. I have another question. What is cheaper, Gas or Electric gor heat, HW, and oven/stove? The internet keeps saying Gas is cheaper which I think is odd. Though I know gas heats quicker, is more efficient, in my mind it's also more expensive. While I see electricity as cheaper, less efficient, and more needed to generate heat. People talk about their gas price going up in the winter up. Electric usage goes up in the winter too. Also, the other concern is not a straightup efficiency/cost comparison, but also how prices fluctuate. Doesn't gas(and elec)'s price raise in the winter usually? (not the usage, the actual prices?) So which is it?

| trent, what's the issue, dude? didn't you say you make decent money in your very first post? everybody needs to pay for a place to live. have you looked into renting a basement, where you could be paying a third or quarter of the utilities and maybe even get free cable & internet?

| | | Let us sort something about before you keep spazzing over bills. First- figure out if the place you are looking at is heated via gas, or electric heat. Got that part sorted out? Yay. Gas is cheaper right now. Expensive, but cheaper overall from when I last looked at my bills. Electric is expensive. Thus- most places with gas stoves and gas radiators, especially here in the city, the landlord often picks up the heat for free. See? Easy. You just get raped like a naughty whore when summer comes around. If you also pay for electric heat in the winter, holy motherfuck it's expensive. So DO SOME MORE RESEARCH INTO THE PLACE you are looking at before flailing about for answers on the internet to questions you can't even properly pose yet. Water heaters are usually electric. These are rarely covered by landlords. And you will pay for this. Especially in winter. Do some damn research, Trent, and start drinking Georgi if you're not willing to dish out what it costs to live alone. Jaysus.

| | | Gas is usually cheaper than electric, since you get more out of natural gas or propane than electricity for some reason, hence why I have a gas stove. Oil hot water saves money because as it heats your house, it heats hot water for use by the occupants. Gas furnace+Gas hot water=the way to go. If you can get it. If not...oil falls in second, electricity falls in third. If I had the choice, I'd get a gas boiler with hot water running through the heating system and a hot water system attached so the gas boiler heats it, not a separate hot water tank. My house came with oil heat and oil hot water off the furnace. I'm in upstate NY, electric runs anywhere from 80 to 120 a month, 120 a month during Christmastime with all the lights we put up. National Grid aka National Squid, because they have their tentacles in everything, especially your wallet. Niagara Mohawk wasn't much better, but they were better in billing, just not in service.
