Serenity in Stonebridge, OVERPRICED????

[ocrenter]

[quote=Eugene]My latest gas & electric bill was $466. I’m not in Stonebridge, but my climate is basically the same. That is with 3100 sf of living space, dual-glazed windows, all drafts sealed to the best of my ability. (I only have R11 in the attic, that could be a contributing factor and it’s on my to-do list.)[/quote]

how old is your house?

we use to rent a 1999 home, insulation was very poor, with the summer being extremely hot and winter cold.

of course, that still beats my in-laws’ home built in the 70’s. when it was in the 40’s recently their interior was also in the 40’s.

if you have a relatively new home from a respected builder who did not cut corners and cheat you on the insulation, a 45 degree night really translate into a 65 degree interior temp, which means you are just looking at the heating cost to bring 65 degree to 70 degree.

Cornerstone did a good job with Tiburon so I think the insulation issue should not be a problem for Tiburon buyers. I have my doubts about Montoro and Serenity, though.

I will bite…. our highest bill during a hot spell was $279.00. Our highest bill during a cold spell was $190.00. Sunny88 hit the nail on the head…bigger house/lot will equal bigger bills. It is what it is. These are all factors that a home buyer will need to factor in. By the way, there is a beautiful breeze up here that we really enjoy. The natural cooling effects are a benefit.
