Is a $600 gas bill normal for January? We purchased a brownstone this fall, and this is our first winter owning it. The garden floor is occupied, but the owner’s duplex is empty until our reno is complete. Heat is steam radiators with a Weil boiler at the end of its useful life. I’m wondering how much savings I’d see with either a new boiler or better insulation, or whether this is just what it costs to heat a 3-story hundred-year old house. Advice appreciated!
