Aux heat for home office

Is electric that cheap in your area? 5.5 cents per KWH?

I pay 10-11 cents, including taxes per KWH. So that would be a bit over $1.20 per eight hour day. After 30 days that adds up. Off hand our power bill averages $3-5 per day. The last bill was $124. Not sure if that was for a 30 day billing period. Adding another $30 would be a big percentage increase. Not to mention $30.

Can you put in a small cheap wood stove in that room? A room that size should not require much to wood/effort to heat with wood

It just went up and is now somewhere between 6.5 and 7 cents per kw hr.. We are on AEP (Appalachian/American Electric Power)... We have cheap electricity.. During the summer our monthly bills are about $70.. I just went on their 'budget plan' and it is $102/mth...

The percentage increase is what I was looking at as well - It sorta makes me appear to be way cheap griping over $1/day, but the percentage is high..

thanks for the info
