Utility Costs in Franklin County area (Youngsville: coop, house, utilities)

[gino]

We are contemplating a move to Franklin County, NC sometime this summer. Can anyone give us an idea of utility costs there? We are a retired couple and will have a house with between 2000 and 2500 s/f. I've tried finding information on the internet to no avail!
Thanks to anyone who may help!!

Which town are you considering? It depends on which town you are planning to live in within Franklin County. Each town does not always have the same utilities.
And I won't complicate it more by saying within each town they could have different utilites,

Probably Youngsville!

We live in Youngsville and have the following utilities:

Wake Electric Coop = Only got a bill for $39 which was for two weeks and we weren't living in the house yet.
Franklin County Water = Haven't gotten a bill yet.
Diversified Energy (Propane) = only got the bill for initial hook up and first tank which was $550.
Embarq (Phone/DSL) = $90/month
DirecTV = $110/month for all channels

I will update this post in a month or two when all of our bills have come in.

Hope this helps!

We're in the same town.
Wake Electric Coop is reasonable. In the height of summer last year we had a bill for $170 or so.
Franklin County water doesn't apply to us. we have a well.
Propane - We got rid of Diversified (previous owner's supplier) as quickly as we could. It's said to be the most expensive of all of them. PM me if you want to know what company we are using (we're very happy with them).
Embarq (we have Phone/DSL/Dish all in one, the middle package) around $160/mo

Yes, this is a help. I'll be interested in finding your monthly totals. Thanks so much for sharing this information. There are so many unknowns when moving to a new state!
