[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 gotta be the Cold, hard reality that you are now a mortgage debtor and have caught a falling knife 😉
We have a ~1900 sq ft house and our gas bill is at about $45-$60 per month in the winter. We set the thermostat to 68 in the evening and drop to 65 during the day when we are away. That bill also includes the occasional gas fire in the evenings to warm up the family room. An updated (~ 10-yr old) central HVAC helps, as does living within 5 miles of the coast.
I suspect that heating our whole house is about as expensive as running a 1500-watt electric heater for about 12-14 hours a day.
