You'd think so, but no. My energy bill is under $170 per month, and that includes natural gas and electicity. Of course it helps that I spent nearly $30k about six years ago to have my house insulated (inner 'between' walls and exterior) and sided. I'm rated at R50 in the attic as well, having had about 2-3 feet deep of celulose fibre put there. I'm saving roughly $120 per month from what I used to pay before insulating.
Natural gas and hydro-electricity is pretty cheap here in Manitoba. Especially electric, since we're a major producer and exporter of it.
