I mean by like gas and electricity would it cost so much more because is a huge house or will it be similar to a small house bills...

sorry if it was confusing....i didnt really know how to explain it

Additional Details

The bills would be proportionate to the house, and how hot/cold you kept it. Since you are heating/cooling more space, yes the bills would be considerably larger. Most large houses have vaulted ceilings, which are much more costly to heat/cool since the area is so large. Your electric bill would be larger, since instead of having say 16 light bulbs in the house (assuming a 3 bedroom ranch) you'd have at least double that, (assuming a 6 bedroom multi-story house). It's like if you bought a Cadillac Sedan DeVille, you'd burn more gas than a Honda Civic. The more space you have, the costlier it is to maintain climate control and lighting.

it depends how big it is, but they would be higher because there is more space to heat or air condition.

It requires a lot more of everything. The larger the area, the greater amount of energy needed to keep things running. For example, in your mansion, it might take 6 lights in one room as opposed to 2 lights in a smaller house. Also, it takes more warm/cool air to keep the temperature right in a larger house. Things would deffinately be more expensive.


Shugg
No the bill would be much more than a small house

of course it would be higher. it would take more electricity to heat the house or cool it down, so theres some more money. there are going to be more lights in a mansion than in a small house and it takes electricity to turn them all on, so theres more money right there, there are probably more bathroom and stuff in a big house, so there is more water being used therefore more money needed...big houses in general have higher bills than small houses.


chatsplas
There is MORE house to heat, more square footage involved, so it costs more. Maybe the huge house has been superinsulated, has new superefficient furnace and has new thermal windows, but it will still cost more. There will be LOTS more light bulbs in the mansion than in a modest house. So YES, your utilities will definitely be more!.

I have not lived in a mansion.

I have lived in a 1250 sq ft house, a 1860 sq ft house and now a 2500 sq ft house.

Progressively they have had higher electric and gas and water bills. The property taxes are higher, it takes much longer to keep them clean. There are more maintenance issues so more money goes out to repairing things.

I am a Realtor and sold a 6000 sq ft house that sat on 5 acres that was landscaped as yard. a small pond with large fountain and several other things. The previous owner stayed at home all the time and spent their time mowing and cleaning and repairing.

The new owner found they needed to hire a full time landscape and handyman, plus a full time cleaning person. (the first few months they found everything go out of control and horrible)

bigger house=bigger bills.

Everything would be higher, including taxes, gas, electricity, mortgage, etc.

If you go from a house woth 100K to 500K, the size of house and size of bills usually increases about proportionally.

So if your electric bill at the $100K house is $200, the new electric bill at the $500K house will be $1,000. The only things to remain the same are probaby your cable and internet bill.
