The savings would have been more if the kids were still living with us
but with just 2 in the house we made the smart choice.

We have a gas cooktop, gas fireplace, gas hot water heater, gas backup
on our heat pumps. Our electric dryer will be heading out the door in a
year or so. Dunno whether to get a gas dryer. There's access to the
laundry room from the gas lines, but I'd have to get a plumber to run
the lines. I'm not sure how much it would save to get a gas dryer versus
a new electric dryer.

We have a gas dryer, gas range, gas heat and gas hot water tank. Our
gas bills through the summer averaged $25. All of those white goods
are a year or less old and energy star rated. We also do most of our
cooking in the summer on the outdoor propane grill.

When I was a kid more than fifty years ago, we had a gas refrigerator.
