Hi: Sorry, somebody pointed out that it might be inspiring to include how much we spent on all of our energy for the year I mentioned in the previous post: $942 is the grand total. This is less than a quarter of what we spent to heat and light our old house that we'd renovated, insulated, and that was approximately the same square footage. One big difference is that here in central New York, natural gas is the dominant fuel source, and right now, it's cheap! We used a mixture of oil and electricity in the old house.
