[quote=EmilyHicks]The last 10 years I have been in a condo or an apartment and it was very cozy and warm. Now moving to my new house, I feel the whole house is just so cold.[/quote]
It’s obviously haunted 😉

That’s crazy. We live in Temecula, have ~18′ ceilings in the living room, 2,100sf, but are well-insulated / double-paned / tinted. $280 was our highest electric bill late last summer, and I think we averaged $50 in gas this winter.
[quote=ocrenter]especially in the summer. neighbors across the street have the afternoon sun right into the family room and most bedrooms. these rooms are southwest facing. they tend to complaint about the heat in the summer a whole lot more.
as for our prior rental, we were getting that southwestern sun into the family room in the afternoon. despite the rental being 50% smaller, the heating cost was twice our cost now (newer home better insulation helps too).[/quote]
