You're probably looking at a moderate undertaking cost and effort wise to insulate the walls and other areas to make it more energy efficient. Usually those projects also balloon into replacing plumbing and electrical while you're at it.
Well the good news is that the electric and plumbing has been brought up to code recently.

I'm wondering whether we need to look into installing another wood stove or blown insulation or even replacing the furnace. (15 years old). There must be other ways to heat an old house besides relying on expensive oil.
