Note from Gas Co.
"Based on Last Years usage your next gas bill is estimated to be
between $201.00 and $243.00."
On Sunday Nov 13th 2005 the neighbors noticed a gas smell coming from
near the meter. The gas Co came and replaced the meter and made a $100.00
credit on the Oct 12 - Nov 12 bill. since we were paying
for their 12 year old defective meter. The new meter was set to 0.0000 on
Nov 13th 2005.
Since going from the usual 500 kWh/month with summer refrigerated air to
1,125 kWh because of use of area electrical heaters so that the gas-fired
central heat thermostat was set at 68 F 24/7 as opposed to 71 F 24/7 last year
where 168.00 Therms were used I expected to only use about 150.00 Therms
or less this year.
Yesterday Dec 24th 2005 the gas Co sent out a tech on Xmas Eve to check for leaks and possibly a misread meter.
No problem was found.
However, when the house was Re-roofed because of Oct 2004 hail damage in June
and the evaporative cooler tied to the main central heating duct was permanently removed for the switch
to area (window unit) refrigerated the large duct wasn't properly capped off,
meaning that the attic was warmer than the 68 F room air.
Sort of an Out-of-Pocket Global Warming donation?
It pays to have repairs double checked,No?
