What are your best tips for reducing heating costs? I'm in a 2,700 sq ft 1920's house with steam heat burning natural gas. December's usage was $554. (I'm using budget billing to spread it out) I'm looking for low-hanging fruit. Nothing too costly and a short payback period.

I can't speak about it impacting cost, but we seal the windows with plastic film every winter, which helps with warmth

The previous owner of my house injected spray foam in all the walls and added a layer of insulation between the attic and the house. My heating bill is half of my neighbor who has the same size house as me.

I've seen ads for sprayfoam that will be subsidized by energy providers in NY. No idea if it's a scam or only for NY or anything else about it, but 2 minutes on Google is probably a worthwhile investment.

We are getting insulation put in our attic fully subsidized by energy grants.
