How much does it cost to heat your home in the winter per month?

I currently live in an apartment and will be moving into my new home pretty soon where I'll own the home.

In the apartment the heat is included so I'm not sure how much to expect to pay to heat my home per month in the winter?

How much do you pay per month to heat your house?

Depends on the size of your house and what fuel you use to heat your home with.

Whether natural gas, electric heat, or fuel oil. Fuel oil is the most expensive and I've heard of some people paying $800.00 per month to heat their home with heating oil.

With electric some people pay around $500.00 per month and natural gas $300.00 per month.

When I was heating my home with electric my electric bill ran $175.00 per month but now I use a wood stove and I only pay $50.00 per month on electric.

I don't have natural gas heat either and only use wood heat for my sole heat source now so my cost to heat is almost zero per month, except the cost to haul the wood and cut it from my property the wood is free to me otherwise.

And sometimes I get free wood dropped off at my house or go and get the free wood that people no longer want that came from trees they cut down or storms took down.

My parents have natural gas forced air heat and they live in a mobile home. Their gas bill usually runs $150.00 per month.

Cost to heat you home will depend on how big your house is and what the fuel rates are in your area.

My house is around 1,000 Square feet and I pay $160.00 per month for my gas bill.
