Utilities Pricing

[John Romero]

Hi All,

Is there anyway I can estimate utility cost for a year round house as well as a vacation property?

With the vacation property, the unit will be rented in the summer months, and "winterized" in the off-season. I was told the heat should be kept at 40* or so to keep the pipes from freezing, has anyone had any experience "winterizing" a townhouse seasonal rental? If so, how much does it cost?

I'm trying to figure out what it will cost for myself, or tenants to pay for utilities.
