670 a month on budget payment plan…. Every month. Propane. It’s insane we pay between 6,000 and 8,000 a year and go through roughly 3,000 gallons for a 2,500 sq ft old 1840 farmhouse. Doing an energy audit next year

Yeesh. Do you have old, drafty windows? Our houses sound almost identical (1823 here). Replaced every window in our house and saw our oil bill drop ~40%. Still thinking of spray-foaming our dingy old basement for some added help, but the windows alone were a huge savings, especially last year when oil was over $6/gallon.

They aren’t super old, most of them are double pane but there are tons of them, plus French doors and big windows. I think there is little to no insulation in most of the house too. It’s a long sprawling house that’s been added onto like a lot of New England and just loads of heat loss.

We're hoping that adding insulation to the basement ceiling will help.

This! This is us. Same size, age, & propane. Who will do your audit? We even use our wood stove to supplement for dry warmth.

I’m researching that now. I’m glad I’m not the only one with this problem. I can’t believe how little some ppl in this thread are paying / how much I am in comparison haha.
