    My heating is paid for in sweat and blood.... And gasoline for the chainsaws.

    We have an old wood burning cast-iron Ben Franklin stove for the downstairs. Propane upstairs, if we need it. Propane was up to 4 bucks a gal. the last time we bought it. So.. maybe 100 a month on the coldest months to heat the entire house. It'd be a LOT more if we didn't have the stove heating the downstairs for free.

    we have gas heat but I didn't move into my current house until March so never really used the heat. I'm interested to see what it will be this winter. January and February will be the only time the bill should be an issue, November and December are fairly mild

    it costs me rent, which it is transparently included in. hvac, electric, internet, 4 walls, a roof, a bed, a place to wash and a place to cook. the cheapest rent i can find in my part of the world. or close to the cheapest without having to move again and again and waste more then i would save doing so. so i have no idea really how much goes for hvac. i know i probably use more internet then most of my neighbors, but even that is mostly a guess.

    doesnt cost me anything

    person who owns the place pays the gas bill i think its around $600 to $700 a year...most of that is likely delivery charges rather than actual fuel cost

    i haven't been here for a winter yet, so i don't know. heat has been included in the rent most places i've lived, and the one place that it wasn't was much less efficient than here and it was about $150 a month, so i'm going to randomly guess about half that. but no idea really.

    i mostly just wear lots of clothes and use blankets anyway. i never keep my place very warm.

    The hydro bill (electricity) is included in the price of rent here. That's what runs our heating.

    A fair bit during winter. Gas pretty much stays constant.

    Nothing, heat is included in my rent, which is awesome. I can keep the thermostat at 72 f.

    My heating here where I rent is Natural Gas and it costs about 1800 for heating from September to May.

    My house is heated with Oil and it costs me around 3000 for the same months.
