Thats a lot of sq. ft. for a rambler. I imagine if she had a ASHP instead of a oil furnace, she would save more than half in just the winter. This climate is a good match for a ASHP too. Now if she went had the walls and attic insulated up to today's standards, she would even realize more savings potential not to mention the sound deadening. What did they even use in the walls in 1953?
