Depends on where. Almost no HHO users around here overall....most use Nat Gas or Propane (if in the boonies) at this point. I have nat gas. Considering how cold it has been the bills have not been bad at all thanks to a 93% efficiency furnace. I can only wonder what people with old draft 50-55% furances are forking out though. Not only are they 40%+ less efficient but that draft uses indoor air, thus pulling even more cold air in every crack in the house while its running..... $$$$$ Doubling the bill would not be pretty.

I had the highest monthly gas bill ever last month 176.00 +/-.
I bought that new Trane package unit 2-3 years ago and the Tstat drops to 62 from 8am till 6pm. & 10pm to 6am. all you can do is all you can do... then BOHICA.

That system sounds interesting. Ive got a 2 year old natural gas furnace running steam radiators, and the combination of a sick father in law, and a wife who gets cold fast has my bill topping out at past 350 bucks a month a few times this year. 176 seems damn cheap to me.

If I can afford it this year, im looking into some new windows, 80 year old drafty single pane is breaking the bank
