Apartment winter utility sucess story

[Binger]

My family lives in a 2 story, 2br, 2ba, town home style apartment...total SQFT is just over 850ish.

Our winter utility bills are pretty consistent...right around 120. Our bill from mid dec-mid jan is $118. I'll tell you what we've done and what the utility dept told me the previous tenants bill was for the same period last year. (keep in mind this winter was colder with stronger winds than last year)

The apt has 4 windows that I sealed with a heat shrink kit. Even though they all are new windows you can still feel alot of cold ambient air off of them and the heat shrink cut that way down.

The bedrooms both have 2 60W CFL bulbs in the ceiling and a lamp with one 60W CFL. Both Hallways, stairs, kitchen, entry way, and living room have a single 60W CFL. The bathrooms and a lamp in the living room has a single 40W CFL.

We try our best to only plug in the laptop when it absolutly needs to charge...but we usualy plug it in while at the coffe shop.
The surge protector for the TV/surround sound is turned off when not in use.
Our TV is a 30" CRT so it is pretty efficent compared to the newer LCDs.

We turn off the electric water heater when we are not using any water, It held a mid 90s temp while off when we were gone for 3 days. We do our laundry on cold, and we turn off the lights everytime we leave the room...even if we need to go right back in.

The furnace is electric, and it does ok it usualy only runs every hour for about 10min. When were gone its turned down to 60and the upstairs vents are closed, if were home we set it at 67-70 and open the vents in the rooms were in, then for sleeping its set to 65.

One thing I noticed is that the since we are on the end of the building there are 3 walls that are exterior walls that I think are not sealed at the bottom of the dry wall. In our kitchen I an feel the wind blow out of the baseboard. So I need to get the land lord to put in some expanding foam or something to fill that gap.

Now as for the previous tennants...their utility bill for the same time period last year was $198 ours is only $118
