Our taxes are closing in on $5000/yr for a 900 SF house on a 6400 SF lot. We have a couple of those little electric faux woodstoves, but we use them judiciously because they are indeed expensive to run. I think I should schedule another one of those energy audits offered by National Grid to address our heat loss issues. When we had one conducted in 2018, we were really just focused on getting the substantial rebate and zero-interest loan for replacing our furnace.
