Ways to keep warm when the power goes out (and thus the house can't be heated) when you have an electric oven?

Stuck in t

A snowstorm (25 inches) in the DC area knocked out our power for 2 days. We (2 adults, one kid, one dog, one cat) don't have a fireplace either, so our house got steadily colder until we camped out at a neighbor's house. She kept the main floor around 55 degrees (F) by keeping the gas stove going full blast. By the time the electricity was restored and we went back home, it was about 35 degrees (F) in our house.

We don't have a generator and can't afford what's available right now ($800 minimum). We will be making a hotel reservation just in case the power goes out again.

Thanks for any ideas on how to keep warm and safe should the power go out again, as another 10-20 inches are expected tomorrow night.

What would the average utility bills for a one bedroom, one bath loft apartment be in zipcode 72204? ?

I've been looking for a good site to calculate the estimated costs of the electricity, gas heating, and water bill on a one bedroom, one bath apartment in Little Rock, Arkansas. My boyfriend and I need an estimate before we attempt to move in. The one we're looking at is loft style with a gas fireplace downstairs and has doors to the outside balcony ( concerned about the door insulation). Help?

Answer
Your looking at about 35.00 for water sewer, estimate 100 for electricity in the summer, If you have natural gas the bill would be around 35.00 in summer and 100.00 for winter, if no gas then figure about 100 on the average for your electric bill year round, (these are monthly costs.)

Summer in this area is more expensive but winter can be cheaper cause it is warmer here. So you might have a cheaper heating bill in the winter to save up for summer. There is always the option to get on the budget plan and they estimate average costs for the year and send you a bill that is the same all year. you build credit in the winter to spend in the summer.

There are some apartments that offer free utilities you might search some of those out if available.
