I am but haven't had a bill yet.

I'm using the fireplace inside, firepits outside and my sims wear winterwear inside. In the rich families I just set the thermostat and leave it. I like it.

My bills are still normal, and I used the thermostat all winter. Is it possible that it's a bug?

A family had their thermostat on all day and had a pretty normal bill. under 5,000. They were already in the 2000-3000 range before seasons.

My two sims live in a pretty normal sized house. 3 bedrooms (only one has stuff in it because they haven't had kids yet) and I had the thermostat on for two days and my bills were 125,000 and they only had average jobs and had only about 4,000 in their account. I had to cheat just so they could pay their bills. All my other families that have the thermostat have normal bills ranging from 4,000 to 7,000 but never that much. Let's just say I turned that thing off asap. Now they just warm themselves with the fire.

My sims live in a two-story, four-bedroom house and the bills haven't been more than 4k with the thermostat on constantly. Sounds like a bug.

My sims don’t seem to really need it. I’ve only turned it on for once and turned it off few hours later. Normally If my sims are hot or cold I use other methods to cool them down or warm them up.

I had the heat on all winter and did not notice any staggering bills.
