I set up my electric bill on a spread sheet and rounded to 2 places. Did this to include all fees and sales tax.
Not sure that others are including everything like rent on the LP tanks, deliver charge, sales tax, and the cost of the electricity to run furnace.
30 years ago I had an oil furnace. It has a 250w ingition transformer that ran all the time, a gun motor and a blower motor. Never measured the amps the furnace used. I estimate it used between 1500w and 2000w.
I know a person who heats 26ft x 34ft part of her house with an 8 ft electric baseboard heater which is 2000 watts.
I still have forced air for A/C only. With electric baseboard, I never have a cold room. Each room has it's own thermostat.
40+ years ago I worked my way through college working for a steel mill in northern Indiana as a HVAC mechanic. My father and brothers were in the HVAC business. My youngest sister and her husband have a very successful HVAC business in Northern Indiana. Parts are very expensive to replace the brain boxes on the new Hi-tec furnaces and heat pumps, not to mention the variable speed motors may only be bought from the company that made the unit and they are very expensive. Many people who buy the new furnaces and A/C also buy service contracts, BIG BUCKS!
Bet these costs are'nt factored into the their calculations.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
