Poorly insulated houses are a killer. Since the hubby inherited it, take the money you WOULD be paying for a house payment and get it in shape. Most utilty companies (gas, electric) will come out for free and show you where problems are. We had a 3400 sq home before this one with $500-600 electric/gas every month because it was so poorly insulated.
I'm having problems with the AC running in basement even with the vents closed, but I saw some magnetic vent covers I'm going to try. The basement is almost toally subterrain so it's cold there already and with the thermostat on the next floor up, the basement is like ice and I'm sure I'm losing AC there.
Hell, it could be something as simple as turning down the thermostat on the water heater.
