They may also keep the heat higher than most people. There's mention of an au pair so there must be a small child.

It's more like $0.30+ when you account for delivery, which costs more than supply. And then some fees on top of that.

Thanks. When the cost in different regions are compared, I thought it was customary to only include the generation, not the delivery.
