Look elswhere....

You might want to take a look at the integrety of the building as far as insulation goes. Chances are that the current insulation and air leakage in the structure are way out of date. Cast is nice and very expensive if you were trying to purchase them, but I think what you need is a full evaluation as to WHY the bills are so hi. Hate to say this, but you have to spend money to save money.. There are great contractors out ther that can give you the answers as to why, or why not,.your heating system is not heating the house to your satisfaction. Takes alot of research to be accurate..Guesses are still free!

I've been to Montana

and can attest to how cold it gets there. Depending on the age and type of the boiler you have now, installing a new boiler MAY reduce your fuel bill considerably. What type of boiler do you have now?
