Wondering the average price of utilities
Okay, so i know that prices really vary based on location, size of house, weatherproofing, type of heat source, etc. But, DH and I are in the very beginning faces of thinking about house shopping and I am trying to figure out how much to set aside in my head as "normal/average" prices as far as utilities, etc.
I have lived on my own in an apt for 5 years, but all utilities are included.
I live in the lancaster area.
Thanks for any information! the basic information i'm looking for:
What size of house/apartment do you live in?
what is your average monthly utilities (heat, water, electric, whatever i might not even be thinking of).
Thanks!
Re: Wondering the average price of utilities
For the townhouse we just sold in Lancaster City:
100 years w/ original windows and no insulation
2000sq.ft
3 floors
gas heat/electric central air- Top was around $250 for either- gas in winter/electric in summer.
$55/quarter for trash
H2O/sewer $75/quarter
right around 1,000sf in Lancaster(not downtown, though, if that's where you're looking specifically):
Heat -Insane. We have oil heat and they check it monthly. It's not much now since it's just heating our water, but in the winter it can be close to $300-400/month if we're not careful and even being careful it's around $300/month.
Water/Sewer/Trash - about 120/quarter
Electric - We have it averaged over the year and it's between 70 and 90/mo.
