I pay an average of $119 per month for electric at $0.127 per KWH.
No water/sewer/gas bill. I also burn about 4 cords of wood per year which I cut and split myself.

House is 1775sf in southeast PA. Has electric baseboard heaters that only get used in my daughters bedrooms on some nights when the woodstove heat doesn't get up there.

I'm working on a build it solar-style hot water tank now that will be fed from a coil on the woodstove and from three 3x8 hot water panels on the roof. I have an airTap that will be used as a backup also feeding the tank. Even if the backup runs all the time, I should be saving a bunch over the current heater.
