Can't say for sure what your costs are. A lot depends on how energy conscious you are, how well the house is insulated etc.

But what I can give is some energy saving tips. ( ohhh.. the irony. Mr. Leave-The-Lights-On giving energy tips.... )

1. Don't leave the computer on all day. My college household did an experiment one month. Instead of having our computers on 24-7, we only turned them on when we were at home. Power bill went down dramatically.

2. TURN THE LIGHTS OFF WHEN YOU ARE NOT IN THE ROOM!!!!

3. Get curtains. Even the cheap light curtains over the windows will reduce the heating costs.

4. Heat the bedrooms. wear more clothes in the living room... lol... close the bedroom doors while you're at it.

5. hmmmm... haven't tried it, but how about changing all the incandescent lightbulbs to flourescent lightbulbs. 100W to 20W?? something like that...
