Electric heat, that's about right. I used 1200kwh of heat alone last month, bigger house though, using a heat pump (which would have used about 1/3 of what an electric baseboard used), and my thermostat set to 64° the 11 days I was home and 55° the rest of the time.

Plus the rate is not 33¢, that's just supply, with delivery and MassSave it's almost 48¢.

Most people with baseboard keep their heat in the low 60s or even high 50s.

Get a heat pump for next year. Get Inspire as your electric provider, if you sign today it may start in February for your March bill.

January is looking to be a little colder and less sunny than it was in December, so if you don't change your thermostat, your bill will be about 15%-20% higher.
