I plan to cut my natural gas usage as well, but it's harder to compare as the weather varies so much, we turned the heat on almost a month sooner this year then last, but we have all new windows and doors this year... we also have heat vents open in more rooms this year, I know that per square foot of house my heat bills were low compared to my friends.
Why I was starting out with electrical usage is it's easy to put a meter on, it's also a year round cost.
Last year I used 111 therms of natural gas, or 3253kwh of gas in the month of January to heat a 2,600 square foot 1920's house, in Wisconsin.
