We are 140 miles southwest of Chicago and it is snowing out now. We have an 1897 Queen Anne Victorian house with over 32 windows. I have had 98% of those replaced so that does help keep things warmer. The new furnace helps too and helps to cut the gas bill, but after all it is winter. High...

My parent's house had a 1960 Moncreif furnace in it and mom my used it until she dies in 2007. I had a 1964 Green Colonial in my house until 2006 when I put in a new, more energy efficient one. We always lived in Illinois.
