Monthly Heating Bill

[MrPoolMan]

Im in DFW and i was wondering what everyone pays monthly to heat their pool and spa. I just got my bill and felt like it was a little high.

What's everyone else's bills like in Texas?

It would be extremely high to heat a pool. Most people dont heat their pools in winter time because of this. I would estimate $200-400.

This website says estimated $1500 over the winter season...

I used to know how to calculate that stuff but most of the things i see online are oversimplifying it in some way and leaving out the explanation and i dont do calculations based on numbers without an explanation why.

oh and the quick answer is:

if youre using a 400,000 BTU heater your burning 4 therms an hour. So how much do they charge you per therm in your area? and how many therms do they show on your bill you using? You can then figure out how many hours each day the heater had to fire itself up to heat the pool.
