322 is between 15 and 219. I’m not sure your end destination but I think bellefonte is worth going to more than Altoona/clearfield. Not to mention state college is nearby if you wanted to see a large college town

We need some more details to figure out your situation. What are the rates for electric, gas, and water that you're paying? How high do you set your thermostat, and how big and old is your house?

Also I have to laugh at the idea that in Utah you were using a sprinkler most days and it didn't cost you. It's no wonder that state, along with the other western desert states are running out water and going dry if that's case.

I have a 1600ish Sqft row house and my total in utilities is about $250 a month.

PECO for electric is $0.09727 per kWh

PGW for gas is $0.82282 per Ccf

PWD rates for water/sewer which they make needlessly hard to find but 4ccf is $69 bucks.

Pennsylvania is a massive state with a bunch of different climates and housing stock. Utilities are not expensive in PA. There must be something unusual about your situation. I live in Philly and I pay about $250 for all that, and this has to be one of the most expensive areas to live in the state.

I was IT support, during regular day shift we did some office desktop support work but after hours and weekend was purely manufacturing control systems support (SCADAS, QA stations, production & EPA monitoring, etc out on the lines.

Like you not tiring, I enjoyed the work but it was feast or famine, and famine was boring. Add to that having to change sleep schedule mid work week made it a struggle to not fall asleep waiting for a call.
