On our second hot water heater, replaced original just over a year ago.

On our second stove, replaced about 5 or 6 years ago.

Dryer still going strong. Had to replace the belt on the drum a few years ago. How old is the dryer? It's a Sears, Avocado Green in color.

Our electric bill runs between just under $70 to $85-90, depending on summer (low) or winter (high).

Our propane bill runs about $110 every 3-4 months.

Combined annual runs around $1400-1500. Glad we're not total electric.

I'd be interested to know how your experiences compare with others--$110 for propane and $70 for electric in summer seems real low. Do you use mini splits/heat pumps for AC/heat?

Someday soon, I'll be looking to replace electric baseboard with a heat pump, but I gotta be honest that I'd much rather not have air blowing, etc. as I'm sensitive to the variation and drafts.
