I would first wait to see what it is for gas and then charge them that portion (tough since weather probably nicer and not gonna be as high).Also you cannot go after the seller on this, but why did your inspector never turn it on?

@Mohit Khanna do a little research and you'll find most of the hot markets of the last 3-5 years have been overbuilt and are now experiencing declining prices.Could be a good time to buy, you don't know when they'll bottom out.Much of Texas and the southeastern states are also getting hammered with bad weather more & more.

My parents have finished paying off the mortgage on their home and are wondering weather it would be more profitable to sell their home or rent it out. 

While some lender will allow statements from other countries and will convert to USD, the path of least resistance here is to have your funds already in the US and create a US based entity to vest on title.
