Echoing the sentiment, it cost significantly more for me to heat a studio to 65F in CA than to get a 2/1 up to 72F in ND (or rather, to maintain those temperatures). Both units had electric baseboard heat and were top floor apartments, but the CA unit didn't have double pane windows, had enormous gaps at the doors and windows, and for all intents and purposes didn't have any insulation. If it was warmer than 0F or so outside the ND unit would have more than enough heat just from cooking. If it was colder than 50F or so the CA unit needed the heaters to actually be on.
