Cost of utilities?

4 bedroom,, 2 bath cape w/ inground pool & pump in summer + full basement:

electric : $100/month (lower in winter, more in summer w/ pool & ac's)
gas : (cooking, heat, hot water) $50 spring/summer/fall when no heat is on, $150-200 in winter, kept at 68* all day (we need to replace some insullation, which should reduce that price, also when we can lower the heat to 64* during the day, it remains around $100-150)
Cable : $150 (Optimum)
Water : $50 every 6 months

I'm also in Suffolk. 5BR, 3 BA, no pool, no CAC 4 window units.

Electric - We have solar now, but before it was $250 a month on balance billing, and we owed at the end of the year.
No Gas
Oil $500/month Oct-Mar (we will be replacing our oil burner this year, cost should reduce a little. Gas is not an option for us.)
FIOS $215/month everything
Water $85 2x spring/summer, $45 fall/winter

Cost of utilities?

Utilities vary greatly. You can have the exact same house as some one but usage and the way a house is insulated can change things greatly.

So use these estimates loosely.
