When we built a couple years ago, we put extra insulation in the attic, insulated garage door, and put in a High Efficiency furnace. Our gas bill last month (although a mild month by Chicago standards) was $130. Our neighbors were closer to $225. The worst month here, was December 2 years ago - our Bill didn't hit $200, but our neighbors were $375-450. We had no idea that our furnace would make such a difference for us, but it has. We keep our thermostat between 65-68 (programmed to change at certain times of day/night).
