OMG that much?! I know heat/air costs some big bucks but literally tripling your bill or more seems super exaggerated LOL definitely up for the challenge tho!!
BUT, on the plus side, apartment rent does not change regardless of the thermostat use! My newlyweds are just starting out in their teeny apartment and totally taking advantage of having that thing on 24/7 for free lol. Im excited for them to get a house but considering waiting until after winter is over hehe
