This is curious to me.
It sounds like your gas usage goes up in the summer, I would expect it to be the opposite.
My current last month gas bill is $48.
Gas heat, stove, water heater, and dryer.
As my parents grew older, we sweated our balls off when we visited them in the cooler months.
My grandmother was like that when we would visit.
I think old people's blood gets thin or something.
I can usually regulate my body temperature alright, but over the last couple of years, my hands and feet seem to be cold all the time now. Even in the summer.
My 87 and 85 Dad and Moms house is a sweat box usually. Although I will say they do not crank the heater they wear sweaters etc in colder weather.
However summer they will have the place 78-80 degs usually.
Their home I just deal with it when there.

Cold fingers and toes is a sign of poor circulation. Just sayin
Im 60(this March)and in cold weather if my toes/fingers get cold that usually outs an end to my outside for a bit. Once that happens the rest of me follows suite.

WE don't, but thanks for the old expression. I seldom hear them anymore.I was wondering if anyone tried to save money by cutting down on AC/Heat usage, for the house. How much do you actually save? What are your gas/electric bills like? I payed a electric bill for a little while and it was anywhere from about $200 spring/fall to $300 in the winter. Where I'm living now, they say the electric can be in the $400's in the summer. In both houses people where there 24/7 so the AC/Heat was always set at the same temperature. Where I'm living now is also a 3500SQF house if I remember right and the AC is kept at 68F which has it constantly on. I'm wondering what it could look like, for a single person with animals, with less lights, and setting the AC/Heat differently when not home. At work, it usually hits 80F+ in the summer and that's with AC on. Just give me a fan and I'm fine. I know how to layer up for the winter, but I hate it when I take a shower and the air is so cold, so I would turn it up before/during a shower...
I'm just trying to plan out some future housing expenses for when I get my own place.
TL;DR do you cut AC/Heat usage to save money? How much do you save? What are your bills like?
Thanks,

It should.Moving to an all electric house in the country kind of scares me!
Thank you dog faced pony solider!It should.
Get some means of backup heat, like a propane heater or a Benjamin stove.Thank you dog faced pony solider!
We will have a fireplace in the new place. Funny I didn't notice any propane tank in the neighborhood, but then again I was not looking. A generator is on the long list. I can see the power plant in Jewett, Texas off in the distance.Get some means of backup heat, like a propane heater or a Benjamin stove.
Get a generator too.
Rural outages can be widespread and long lasting.
