A few years ago, my bill was around $120 a month if we used the electric hot water heater and around $90 when we used the propane heater.
Our montly bill now is less then zero (power company owes us money). That because we are on a 5400 watt solar electric system. In the winter all our hot water is heating with a wood furnace.
To be accurate, we had to pay for the solar electric, so our power is not really free. Just sort of "all paid in advance." We paid around $10,000 out-of-pocket for a $35,000 system. The rest was paid for by Federal and State incentives. So, we are sort of paying $100 per month for 8 years and then all is free (got through two already). Also got a 50' X 50' tractor barn out of the deal. Built it with a special roof point south to hold the solar panels. So, if I put that $10,000 value on the barn, the power IS free.
