Totally agree! The first month I had my house I had large amounts of insulation blown into my attic. I also reduced various heat sources by getting the most efficient LED lights, PC parts etc. The other big thing that helps is keeping the upstairs much warmer during the day and only keeping the downstairs where my office is frigid until the evening when I go upstairs.
My all time high electric bill so far was ~$220 for a 2500sqft house when it was 110+ outside for most of the month and I was WFH and keeping the downstairs around 70.
I was really nerding out about solar panels and home batteries for a while and desperate to justify that toy, but I would barely break even before they failed or I needed a new roof. Start with insulation, it’s CHEAP compared to high tech options.
