Fulthortl,
I haven't given the gas cost much thought. A Generac 20KW, which is usually big enough for a 3500 sq ft or larger house with load shedding, uses 295,000 btu at full load. My small furnace at my place is about 100,000 and my bill is about $250 per month when its real cold. Granted my furnace doesn't run all month but the gen won't be a full load either. I can't see the bill for a whole month being more than $750-1000.
Do you guys not have natural gas available out there? I'm in Michigan BTW.
