Social Speaks: Heat Bills on the Rise

I have been hearing people voice concerns over high heat bills this winter. Is your heating/electricity/gas bill higher than normal. Are there any of you that use propane? Is your bill high? I heard propane has gone up too.

• Kathy Peterson I don’t but mom just put in a new propane furnace and yes propane has gone up over a $ a gallon in the last month

   
• Jo West I do not have propane…but my bill was $250. last month and this month $350…I have never paid more than $200 a month in twenty years & I know it can not be that colder in Herman…lol

   
•  Kathy Peterson I would seriously encourage everyone to invest in infrared heaters as a supplement…my gas bill was down 40% over last year… and I just got my electric bills …..they are about the same as they were last year…but it has been so much colder this year than it was last year that I am ecstatic……..since doing that investment I actually LOOK FORWARD to opening my bills to see where they are…..

   
•  Debby Boyle-Redding propane is over 5.00 a gal now. the min you can have put in is 250 gals. we have heard that the contracts are not going to be honored that some people have . yes we do have propane

   
•  Kathy Peterson They honored Mom’s …just filled it a few weeks ago…

   
•  Julie Eager Is it true that drying corn has become more important than people?

   
•  Cherry Hanak We started the corn stove way cheaper then propane

   
•  Debby Boyle-Redding that was before the price went up

   
•  Kristi Dahlgren Propane has gone up. But we locked our price back in the fall so wr’ll be okay. Whew!

   
•  Angie Maxwell Don’t have propane any longer, but one of the girls I wrk with does. As of tomorrow it’s supposed to go up to $6.00 a gallon she said and they weren’t allowed to lock in prices this fall.
