Insulate, modernize and reduce power use, it’s still a challenge thou. Since it is such a large house we use electric fire places and small space heaters to help make the spaces we are in more comfortable while keeping the thermostat as low as we can…62 is about it.

There are tax rebates, up to 14k to be had next year for upgrades to help reduce energy use thx to the bill President Biden and the Dems passed. A heat pump is a possibility for us.
