We live in an old, 3 bedroom, 2 story brick house. Our monthly bills are roughly as follows:

Union Gas- $139 (we're on equal billing so its the same every month)

Hydro- $129

Rogers(phone/internet/cable)- $126 (we got some start up deals that will end soon so it'll be around $160)

Water Heater- $33 for 3 months

Insurance- $56

Overall, we end up paying around $460 a month for our house related bills. Hope this helps. It probably varies from region to region.

The size of your house definitely plays a role in how much your bills are for the month. Also keep in mind the types of appliances ( what they run on etc) can also affect certain costs. I am not sure of ours as we only recently moved in from an apartment so things are still including hookup fees. :hehe:

Hey ladies,

We're looking to buy soon and I was wondering how much monthly bills are.

I know this is a very general question but Im trying to get a better understanding of all the costs. We have lived in an apartment will everything included.

Any info that you wouldn't mind sharing would be useful!

Thanks!!!
