We bought a propane-heated home in October, and it is wiping out our savings account. First bill in late November was $400. 2nd bill was first week of January for $1,086. JUST received another bill this weekend (for one month of propane usage) and it was $876!!!! I’m pretty sure I had a mini-stroke upon opening that bill. I don’t know how propane companies are staying in business at these prices, but we are switching to an electric unit before next winter even if I have to take out a loan to do it. It’s RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE!! (and by the way, we are only heating the lower level of our home and it is only about 1500 sq ft – we are keeping the upper level closed off – also keeping the thermostat set no higher than 66 degrees so we aren’t even feeling warm) :(
