I’m saving more like $150 a month, but also my furnace doesn’t run 24/7 putting major wear on it in cold temps, and I no longer see daylight through the corner of my windows.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Ok that's better. Only way I save $150 per month is the service fees get dropped. Total bill was $255 last month.
The cheap $2 solution is to clip on an emergency blanket to the drapes for the winter. Will probably cut bills by some GJ. Best to throw out when spring hits.
The $50 solution is to upgrade to thermal drapes, roughly the same - but you probably won't have as much moisture buildup. If it saves two GJ over one winter (say you have windows that are 30 years old) it pays for itself in five years or so.
Vancouver? Don't even think about blanket or thermal curtains, the moisture will be horribad. Calgary? All good.
If you aren't totally committed to upgrading windows entirely.

Cocoa $11,000 per tonne.
Interesting on the blanket solution, however would it be an issue since the windows often can give me a sense of how my moist/humidity is doing in the house. If we covered them up, it may throw off my RH spidy senses.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

My November bill was $296. Lower then my average. 1994 house. Gas is fixed at $4.09, electricity at $0.0669.
- $62 electricity, vs $150 in August from the AC use.
- $128 nat gas, vs $390 as a peak in Jan 2022. My big 3 car garage is really leaky. I need the garage door installers to come back and seal it better. 3 of my home windows are leaky, but I've added some clear plastic sheets with tape to deal with it for the winter for $40. I also installed double cell fabric blinds, blinds.ca. They're closed most of the time, and def offer insulation value.
- $95 for water + recycling. $216 was my peak in Sept from watering my lawn.

Enmax fixed is 11 cents now. I renewed in October for 9.29 (not that it makes a big diff).
2024/2025 is going to be fucked. Everyone’s interest rates renewing, fixed energy plans renewing. Lot of professionals in their 2.4M homes going to be in a world of hurt.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Some probably already fucked being on variable.
But you never know. Everyone locking in on fixed let's say and then later prime drops in 2025+ and folks are eating good while all the fixed ppl stuck on higher rates lol.
