Yea, everybody’s went up. Gas is 0.97 cents per unit, last year it was roughly 0.31 cents. Electrics gone up too. You’d want to look at the back of your bill and the graph online of your usage. The online one can show hour by hour. If your usage goes up when the temp starts to dip, then you can assume it’s your heat working to keep the place warm. Especially if you’re all electric. In general, heat pumps are great until about 30 degrees or so, after that it turns into a massive space heater that sucks electric. So the couple cold days and nights at Christmas would’ve really impacted the bill. Emergency heat in your furnace can use 14 kWh each hour.
