We’re barely halfway through October, and have already gotten some snow. It’s been very cold for this time of the year, even for Wisconsin. I have electric baseboard heat, which is already obscenely expensive. I only have five of my seven heating units turned on at any given time in the winter. I keep my thermostat at 60F, unless it’s 20 below zero, then I might crank one room to 65F. Even doing that, my electric bill runs $250/month in the winter for an 1100 square foot condo. I try and wait until November 1 to turn on any heat, and try to turn it back off mid April.
This year is going to be bad. I don’t know what else I can do to keep my electric bill down. I will be wearing 3-4 layers most days, will be covered in blankets. I hope and pray we have a milder winter, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen.
