   About 18 months ago my thermostat died.  It was replaced by a Honeywell   
   that keeps temperature more accurate, but has some other features.  This   
   is used with a heat pump.   
      
   It has an app on the phone that I can use to change  or program it with,   
   but, it also track hours run each day.   
      
   In 2025, I used heat for 60 hours.  That was last Jan and Feb, nothing   
   this season but Wednesday will be chilly.   
      
   For cooling, it ran 1575 hours.  I keep the AC at 77 during the day, 75   
   at bedtime.  When I was away for 2 weeks, it was set to 80.   
      
   Electric bill for the year $1015.  Heat, cooling, lighting. A bit less   
   than the previous year.   
      
   Gas is used for hot water, cooking, grilling, clothes dryer.  There is a   
   monthly fee just to have the meter, $229 for the year, actual gas use   
   $98.83.  This is for one person.   
      
   I imagine I track things like that more than most people, but I'm   
   curious about it.  Climate is west coast Florida.
