The graphs below compare average monthly natural gas bills over the last ten years for residential customers who purchased their natural gas supply from RG&E. Monthly Residential Natural Gas Costs. Based on average use of 952 therms per year. The data in the above chart is based on average usage for a typical customer.
Household electricity use: 6,000 kWh per household per year for 3 residents average per household. So the household use per capita is 2,000 kWh or about of per capita electricity from all applications. Household Natural Gas use: 400 therms per household x 30 give 12,000 kWh equivalent electricity.Since much of the electricity is generated by natural gas, it is not totally unreasonable to compare these two in kilowatt hours.The EPA quotes 50% to 80% savings.) (You can get a 30% tax credit up to $2,000 until Jan. 1, 2008 on a solar water system.) With an average of 400 therms total gas usage, the water heating portion average is on average 50% at 200 therms. Saving 2/3 of this cuts out 200*(2/3)*30=4000 kWh.
