  Its a payment plan since i cant afford the winter months peak when I have to use electric heating. Its also an older house and needs some real improvements to insulation and new windows. I also wish i could upgrade the electric heating since i do believe even that have better options as well. All things I could never get to sadly, but now that were selling I will be really happy not having to think about all of that ever again. Ive been keeping track and in summer it’s actually $300. Winter is brutal sadly.

    Sorry to say it like this but is there any way you can cut back? Getting a heat pump can help but you can also turn things off, use less heat, etc. I am wondering if there might be something wrong $1000 a month sounds wrong. Do you have family?
