Therms: The Not-So-Sexy Side of Staying Warm
A therm is a unit of energy, kind of like a measuring cup for your gas usage. The more therms you use, the more you'll pay. But how many therms are you talking about? Buckle up, because...
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
- The Great Georgia Gas Gumbo: The average Georgia household uses around 717 therms a year. That translates to roughly 59.75 therms a month. But hold on there, partner! This is just an average, and we all know averages can be about as helpful as a screen door on a submarine.
Winter Wonderland...or Wallet Woe?
Here's the truth: your therm usage is gonna be like Georgia weather - unpredictable! In the summer, when you're cranketing the AC and the only thing heating up is your temper at the gas prices, you might use as little as 11-27 therms a month. But come winter, when that furnace kicks in and you're wrestling alligators to keep them out of your heated pool (because, hey, it's Georgia!), your usage can jump to a chilly 65-175 therms a month.
Translation: summer = shorts and sandals, low gas use. Winter = parkas and Polar Bears, high gas use.
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
So How Much Gas Do I Need?
Now, the real question. How much gas you need depends on a gumbo pot full of factors:
- House Size: Big house, big therm appetite.
- Heating System: Gas furnace? Brace yourself for higher winter bills.
- Insulation: Think of insulation as your house's cozy sweater. The better it is, the less gas you'll need.
- Shower Singer? Long, hot showers are lovely, but they're also therm guzzlers.
The moral of the story? Every house is different, so there's no one-size-fits-all answer.
