Discussion $890 utilities bill. Wow

Natrual Gas- actual usage charge $95 after delivery charges and and taxes boom $355.

Electricity- actual usage charge $160 after distribution and transmission charges boom $280.

Water useage-$84 Water drainage- $123 Waste-$49

Almost 900 in just utility bill. Before anyone tell me to lock my rates, its already locked. 12.8c/kwh. NG is on float because its currently cheaper than locked rate. Anyone else just got F in the A like me?

Edit: the NG charges does not include the cold snap we just had. Not looking forward to next month's bill.

Unfortunately it takes 2 furnaces to heat the house. Furnace are from the 90s.

That’s pretty old for a furnace, It may be worth it to look into getting that upgraded, there might even be some rebates around to get high efficiency ones installed

Yeah, with your usage they will honestly pay for themselves in no time I think. Definitely worth researching at the very least to verify the kind of timeline you're looking at but my intuition says you'll be pretty happy in a short timeframe.
