If furnace is electric why is the gas bill high?

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

I have a vacant home in Utah, built in yr 2001, and the only thing running is the furnace which is electric. The house is 3,800 sq ft and the only thing on is the furnace set at 55 degrees. There are no appliances in the home with the exception of a refrigerator and a gas stove.

Why would the gas bill for an empty home be 0 when the only thing that is running is the furnace but it’s electric?

Thanks in advance.
I’m not sure if the water heater is on and if it’s gas or electric. However I shut off my water service so I don’t have water. My electric bill is for 1,109 kwh for this month and gas 0.

If my electric furnace is forced air why would it use so much in gas though?

Thanks all for your replies and helpful suggestions.

What is the cheapest and best way to heat a shop of 1400 sq.ft. with 10ft ceilings and insulated?

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

I’m on a very tight budget so the cheaper the better.
Can’t burn wood due to insurance reasons.
No ready heaters, have to heat this shop 24/7 and it’s sealed up pretty good so there would be ventilation problems unless I open a window and that would defeat the purpose of running heat.
The building has natual gas.

Remove asbestos popcorn ceiling or cover it up?

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

We have a 1970′s house that has a confirmed asbestos popcorn ceiling. The house is 2000 sq ft. Do you think it would be cheaper and more practical to cover it rather than hire professionals to remove and then texture it?
