Best way to manage utilities

[prl]

Depends what you want to do. I wouldn't expect Gnucash to, for example, 
translate our household energy usage into tonnes of CO2, and graph it 
with annotations marking when there were changes in our main 
energy-consuming appliances and improvements to our insulation. I also 
have it compare the standard flat-rate charge for our electricity that 
we currently pay with the price we would pay if we chose a time-of-use plan.

All our utilities except phone/ISP are charged quarterly so the effort 
maintaining the second set of figures is minimal.

The utilities spreadsheets have remained unchanged through three changes 
of accounting program - spreadsheet cash book, Quicken for Mac, and now 
Gnucash.
