Man my system must have horrible circulation. It's noticeably colder upstairs in the winter, and the thermostat is like a third of the way up the stairs.

... heat rises. If your upstairs is colder than your downstairs, that's not circulation, that's insulation ... the insulation of your attic must be sorely lacking. Several years back, mom had an absolutely epic twenty-four inches of insulation put in the attic, here. :)

Hmm, thanks, I'll look into that. The home inspector raved about the foam insulation in the attic, but it could be something else or not enough.

Our gas bill comparison to similar homes in the area does always have us at the very low end of usage, at least.
