Nobody I know around here has residential AC, and my company doesn't
either. We do leave the gas heat on all year. If it gets too cold in
the lab, we just power up a couple of Tek 7104s as needed.

At home, we average maybe $80/month for gas and electricity. At least
*that* part of life is cheap here.

It's sunny and warm today, 62F outside my office window according to
my Fluke thermocouple.
