Heating costs? I live in a small one bedroom apartment within New Hampshire. November,...

I live in a small one bedroom apartment within New Hampshire.

November, my propane bill was $212 (70 gallons). So I turned down my fry to 60 degrees from 70 degree and take a hip bath every other day to weaken my usage of propane.

I asked the landlord to hold someone come down and check out the drafty windows and not a soul has nonetheless come down. The building inspector is coming down next week, which I plan to be present.

My bill for December increased to $301 near the heat one turned down. It stated that I had used 101 gallons. I wear layer and sweats as well as using extra blankets. I live alone and I'm not home during the light of day.

I cannot afford to keep heat my apartment and it really is the size of a large studio apartment. It have been cold and we have a lot of snow, but does the increase of my bills trade name sense? Does it sound similar to it is a structural problem?
Answers:    Call your landlord and share him that if he doesn't do something about the drafty window, and fix everything that the building inspector says specifically wrong you are going to find a new place to live.
Most bills of this type are calculated and billed from LAST month's usage. So within January, your bill should definitely show a reduced charge. You can buy strip insulation and put it up around your window, or use plastic over them. But when the cost of propane goes up, your bill is going up, too.
