Well,
I found the secret Alex but I don't know if you'll like it....
As you know I moved from Michigan to Georgia. I no longer pay for natrual gas as our duplex is entirely electric.
Having said that I realized a huge savings by not have natural gas which my dad tells me as just about crippled him back home near Detroit.
We have a heat pump, don't know what it is but we pay right around $90.00 a month which is just fine by me. This time last year in Michigan I was paying about $220.00 a month combined electric/natural gas.
It also help that as you saw for yourself I'm a big well fed yankee. To me it's not cold down here when it's in the 50's and my co-workers are shivering.
So my secret was to re-locate from a cooler climate to a more tempered one. That probably didn't help you none.
