Gotta pick your battles though. This ain’t it.

In this case that concern was pretty easily met. An internationally declared pandemic, and an FDA approved vaccine. The whole time, this has been so far on the side of reasonable that the opponents just looked like idiots.

One of the big perks of the MassSave program is an energy audit - they come through and do infrared scans of the walls and ceilings to see where you need insulation. Did they do that?
If you need insulation you just need insulation. Blow it in the walls, staple a blanket to your ceiling, whatever. (Don’t actually do that.) most of the insulation is covered or cheaper through masssave. Did they say that they can’t do anything for you?
I’m just confused about the available options and what you’ve done so far.
If you just need more heat, you can get a window unit heat pump. That’ll do AC and heat, and be pretty efficient to boot.

Reply to Coat recommendations by Necessary-Parking-23
I’m a cheap person, and you don’t need a great coat. I’m wearing a somewhat worn 15 year old coat at this point that’s lost a bit of it’s insulation. No single item will keep you warm. You need layers.
Get a wool base layer like for skiing. A good hat, scarf, gloves. You can get a thinner pair of gloves for under your winter gloves if you get cold. A balaclava or skiing face mask. And, a decent coat. If it gets real cold you can get some ski pants to wear over your base layer and regular pants.
That being said, you’ll also want to keep agility in mind for the climate wars.

Did they do the energy audit? Did they say you have sufficient insulation in the walls? Is it a matter of the hearing system not pushing enough heat to that room? What kind of heating system? Is there a vent or radiator in that room? Any other pertinent details?
Not enough heat in the room can only have two causes. 1) it’s leaking heat out, or 2) there’s not enough heat going in.

You should use Turbotax to do your own - it doesn't cost anything until you file. That way you can double check the numbers, make sure the math is right. It probably is - but it's worth checking.
