Like the main market utility costs depend on the size, age, and amount of usage. A 1960’s era Cape Cod will have a higher utility bill than a newly built home will have due to drafts and a less efficient design. It’s typical for most people to winterize their home in late October or November which will lower utility costs in the winter.
