Actual costs natural gas Xcel energy.
1800 SF 1 1/2 story poorly insulated 80 year old house with full basement.
Thermostat set at 50 degrees, that is as low as it goes. North Central MN
This is about 30% higher than previous years. it rarely exceded $70.00 in previous years.
If it really costs $300.00 a month to heat empty with no one going in and out letting cold air in imagine what it would cost to keep 2 old folks warm if they ever had to spend the winter there.
